I then put the known good two in slots A1 and B1 and when I added the suspected bad stick in slot C1 the system would not boot. I then took all memory out and tried the suspected bad stick in all "1" slots, the system would not boot. My assumption was that I had identified a bad stick and Corsair agreed and replaced the entire kit. Until I got it I used the two good sticks (4 Gb) When I received and installed the new kit the system booted and showed all 6 Gb.
Since it was a clear non intermitant failure I did not mess with memtest.
ok thank you for your answer

I do the same, tested each stick in slot A1 is good then tested each stick in slot B1 is good and in the slot C1, it hangs at the ROG logo or DET IDE, etc. .. .

if I put the 3 sticks, it hangs on DET DRAM, I reboot and it's good

it will be the motherboard (slot C) who died?

thanks

PS: the 3GB of RAM is recognized in bios and in windows
