|  Interesting memory problem I have 4 gig of crucial ballistix ddr2 800 ram. With all four sticks in I get random bsod's, erratic software problems and it fails memory tests such as memtest and vista mem test. If I take out the second two sticks I have no problems and pass memtest. I swap out the two pairs and still pass with no problems. The only time I have problems is when I have all four sticks in. This is most frustrating. Any suggestions?

| Re: Interesting memory problem ASUS is a very picky board and you may need to look in the bios and play with the advanced settings and the memory hole setting I think it's set to disable. I remember something about this as being a problem with 4 sticks of ram but I have the A8n32-SLI Deluxe board. So I'm just putting that idea out there.

| Re: Interesting memory problem Thanks Splatoid. I bumped up the voltages for the northbridge and the ram earlier and now everything seems to be working fine. My last board was an A8N32-sli deluxe and I loved it. Very good board.

| Re: Interesting memory problem Great Glad you got it working. I'm not impressed with ASUS anymore. Years ago that was all I would use.
