    MOBO says problem with RAM

    I just built a new PC and it won't boot. It powers up and everything but doesn't display anything. It basically fails the POST. The motherboard LED's indicate that the RAM is the culprit, but I tested both the sticks on my other PC and they work fine. Could this be a faulty motherboard?
