I was installing an new set of ram (stats below) and ran into some difficulties. At first I installed the OCZ ram and let the motherboard determine the timings (it reads them wrong 5-5-5-18 but I figured it was a good starting point). It booted a few times but when ever I tried to adjust the timing I would get nothing (as in not even the bios). This would be persistent till I removed the ram set the timing to auto and began again. Lots of trial and error later I have reached a new and unpleasant condition. I can get the computer to boot with either set of ram (in auto timing or in altered timing) when they are in slots 3&4 but nothing will work in slots 1&2 regardless of what is in the other slots. The question is did I at some point destroy slots 1&2 or is there something else going on (I hope so). Any help would be appreciated.
