hmmm that would be a LOT of gold... but thanks :)
What kind of memory is it anyway
Like brand ?
It's not the memory. It's a good thing that NOO NOO directed me to try the ram sockets. I have a bad ram socket on the MOBO. The memory is Crucial.
I've already alerted gigabyte of the problem.
The machine hasn't crashed since I just use ddr1 slot. That means my wife can only run in 64 bit memory mode. I hate to rma the mobo because it's very functional the way it is! But I do not like to be rooked either!
My solution:It's time to buy my wife that laptop she's been wanting.
Once it's here I will transfer the settings via the wizard from this computer to her new lap top. Then I will take the MoBO out of this system and rma it! When I get it back I'll slip it right back in. Right NOO NOO? And the computer will live happily ever-after! :thumbs2:
Sounds like a plan....BUT refer to my sig....
I find that to be so so wise!
Not only for computers either!
if you find both sticks to be faulty, reset the BIOS to defaults.
Failing that, if the motherboard has a REALTEK AC97 soundcard bolted to it, turn that off in the BIOS and see how that goes. I've had nothing but trouble with them and Service Pack 2 this week.
Hope this is of some help.
Garak.
I've been running w/o problems if I just uses the first mem slot in the mobo, but if I use the ddr3 slot so it can go dual mode it screws up. mem16 has ided the mem slot as a problem not the memory. :)
Have to agree that RMA's are a huge pain in the butt anymore. Last week I shipped 4 hard drives back to the manufacturer; one RMA number, one box. Got 2 replacements today, 2 still in transit. What a crock!
Recently had to RMA a defective Asus mobo, and found out that Asus will usually repair (not replace) your defective board and that it may take up to 10 business days (2 weeks in realspeak) to turn it around. Let's see now, 3 days to ship it to the repair center, 2 weeks to repair the board, 3 days to return it. Gettin' close to a month of downtime aren't we? Might as well say that warranties are valueless.
Many will cross ship if you give them a credit card number...
Many will, but see my previous post about Asus. Your side of the pond may be different, but here you send them the board and they repair it. A refurb board can't be sold as new. It has to be sold as a refurbished or used board. Asus chooses to duck the loss and pass the pain along to the customer and dealer.
If the board was new when you put it in the machine and then turns out to be faulty, then technically the board is new right? If its a customer repair, then give them the option of waiting 3 weeks for the repair or sell them a new board. Unfortunatly, the warrenty doesnt state that it will be a NEW item - just that it will work. All hard drive manufactures do the same thing, you will receive a repaired hard drive as the replacement for your drive.
We seem to getting afield from the issue here. My point is that Asus isn't advance shipping RMA boards. You send them the board, Asus repair center fixes it, and ships it back. This consumes 3-4 weeks. Should the customer wait that long for a replacement? In fact, can most business customers stand a wait like that?
Ok, so I replace the board. Customer is happy. Now I get to keep the repaired board. It can no longer legally be sold as new, so as a used board it gets a used price or sits untill I have some other use for it. So, as I see this, Asus current warranty policy is a win only for Asus' RMA costs.
I was talking about the drives... never had to rma an Asus board.
