If you are not willing to help, then why the comments?

I do not list my rigs in my sig becuase they change as soon as new parts come out.
I swapped parts around to confirm GAR's issue.

You are not willing to even try an experiment. Please leave comments on the issue to those that have it, pls. You've already proven you don't really care, thanks, but some of us here are trying to help others.

then you should put your current parts in your sig.
Did you try the TIM setting I suggested?
Did you list your bios setting? no you didn't, I can't recreate the problem if no details are given about your bios setting relating to the motherboard. The default is to disable everything in the bios the user doesn't understand. At the moment I don't have the time to swap the old cpu in(my life is hectic at the moment. I wasn't trying to be mean I just don't have the time.). I would like to know the exact bios setting you used, and not just 9x by blah blah with some random vcore. I want to know every setting so I can try to recreate the problem with my current cpu that would tell me it's motherboard or software related.

thanks for trying safan but still no dice, I tried both slots.
this is actually my 2nd set, the first set did the same exact thing so I RMAed it and now this set does the same thing. Its def. the board

Im also using all of anandtech's reference ddr2 settings, any more ideas?
if not im just gonna sell this board

did you try just one stick or using a different stick of ram to boot the system and then flash to a newer bios?
