intense Posted December 6, 2006 CID Share Posted December 6, 2006 I am 99 percent sure I have a bad dimm slot on my ausus motherboard. Its a M2WPV-VM. I put 4 sticks of ddr2 ram in and it only shows 1.46. I then took out all the ram. Used just one stick of 512 ram. One slot at a time and started the puter. 3 of the 4 booted fine. The fouth slot would not boot. Used the same stick of ram so I am sure its not the stick of ram itself. It did work fine in the other 3 slots. Has anyone ever replaced one of these. Myself I wont. I will either ship the whole puter back and let them fix it. Its still under warinty. Or let a local shop put one in. Depends on the cost. If its cheeper just to have a local shop replace it than to ups the whole puter back to the factory I may go that route. Oh its a barebones setup and the motherboard tray is removable so it should not be that big of deal to replace. Apreciate any imput. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planatoid Posted December 6, 2006 CID Share Posted December 6, 2006 Four DIMMs is teh suck. I've had bad DIMMs before, but none that didn't work entirely. Some RAM in certain DIMMs just didn't overclock that well. I highly doubt it would help, but you could try flashing your BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
