Is it the RAM or the RAM Slot?

[Rishkoi]

Hey guys, just put together another build, everything seemed like it was working great, started up fine, loaded windows files (first install) then BANG blue screen. It changed the error name a few times when I restarted.

I took out the second stick of RAM from slot B1 (A1 - A2 - B1 - B2), first stick being in A1

and viola! Windows installs perfectly, and the computer runs like an all star

Put the stick back in, once again, BSOD

Now before I get yelled at, I know this isn't proper procedure, but I put in the second stick in A2 and tried it, and it worked perfectly and passed the mdsched test like a pro.

I'm going to take out all the RAM and try each one in that slot to confirm if it's just a bad port.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Well take one of the sticks in the working slots, and put it in the slot that is assumed broken. If it boots, then its the ram. If its a no go, its a dead ram slot.
