Built this system today and all was well during the first hour of testing. Then, out of nowhere, the BIOS and OS only started to detect 24GB out of 32GB of installed memory.

I went back into the BIOS, and under the Tool tab at the top right, the ASUS DRAM SPD Information shows the following:


I've checked the memory, itself - I've swapped in several different kits, and the 'ABNORMAL' message still stays on C1 and C2. Switching around the sticks / changing sticks doesn't clear the error.

I've tried the usual - full clear, resetting, reseating, BIOS update, and so on. Nothing's worked, and no DDR in those slots will show up anymore.

So, any suggestions, or is the board just dead? Or, even worse, is the CPU dead? I was hoping it wasn't an IMC problem.

Not sure what voltages you are running for VCCSA, but at 8X4GB you may need to increase slightly. If that does not work, post up a picture of the DRAM timings pages (F12 to save to a flash drive then convert to JPEG and upload).
