[SOLVED] Rampage Extreme X48 Det Dram Isssue...

[Elloquin]

Ok so here's the story.

System Specs:
Air Cooling
Asus Rampage Extreme X48 Stock Bios
Retimmed and washer modded to the north bridge screws.
2 x 1GB Cellshock Blue 1866 DDR3
E8600
XFX 4890
Enermax 1050w Revolition PSU

I'll try to be as detailed as I can. Set the board up dead stock. Hung on Det Dram first boot. Cleared cmos via the button. Rebooted booted straight away. Loaded OS etc. Ran 20 passes of LINX passed just fine. Shut it down and needed the bench for another project. Came back to it again this past Sunday. Mounted the CPU cooler. Booted up straight away. Reinstalled OS. Tweaked OS a bit drivers, checked temps voltages etc. Shut it down. Came back to it next day. Board Hangs on DET DRAM. Hmmmm. Cleared cmos via puling the battery for 10 mins. Same thing. Pulled ram from slot a1 and left 1 gig in slot a2 boots just fine. Slot b2 boots just fine and both sticks either seperate or together boot fine in slots a2 b2. Board will not boot past det dram if slots a1 b1 are used either stick nor will it boot with the sticks in dual channel. Some how slots a1 b1 are unresponsive.

So far the only things other than striping down the board to cpu ram and video and trying to get it to boot are the only things I have tried. I also pulled the heatsink off the cpu and reseated it after checking for any bent/moved pins and it looks fine. I haven't had a chance to reinstall the heatsink and test it again.

Suggestions lol?
