Well, I have an Abit KG7 board, and my board is picky about how I place ram. I need to put ram in slot # 1 and 2 and if it's unbuffered, only 2 DIMMs. If I put any ram in #3 or 4, it won't work. I suppose my advice is to try reversing the order the ram is placed. I assume you tried each stick of ram in #2, as you describe, separately? -- sandv!per� Viper's Lair: http://www.viperlair.com "Axis" <fantabulosity@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:tsms4boelg1o03@corp.supernews.com... > After a long and arduous battle for stability I have come to the > conclusion that there is some wacko problem with the chipsets above > playing nicely.
