When I put sticks in B1 and B2 or single sticks in B1 or B2 the system boots up fine. However I can't use dual channel technology.

When I first bought this board all the ram slots were working because we have tried it. I upgraded the bios from 0401 to 0903 but no use. Can it be a memory compatibility or a motherboard bug. Or just two bad ram slots? Does anyone have a similar problem?
First off, dual channel is gonna be A1+B1 for the blue and A2+B2 for the white (these are the higher rated slots for DDR1200). Can you get it to boot as in either A/B 1's or 2's slots?

I do recall some mobos being tricky with new RAM and just after a BIOS flash. I would try reset CMOS and boot. If it POST, load system defults and go from there. Although I never had this issue with my ASUS. But worth a shot.

Good luck.
