I have a sabertooth 990FX motherboard, amd 8150 with stock fan
and I have four sticks of ram that are listed on the QVL MT16JTF51264AZ-1G4D1
the problem started when I was running mem test...
when I went to restart the computer it would not boot...
finally figured out I could get it to boot with one stick in the B2 slot (A2 is suppose to be the default for one stick) but it will not boot with one stick in the A2 slot.
I can get it to boot with two sticks in the A2 and B2 slots, but it only show 4 GB of ram.
I got it to boot once with four sticks in, after using the mem test button but it only showed 4GB or ram and got some error message and shut down.. (shuts down before I can read it)
so without holding the memtest button it won't boot and and NO POST beeps...
so when it does boot I get one beep
when it won't boot I get NO beeps
I've removed the cpu and checked for bent / broken pins (none)
I've blow out the ram slots with compressed air.
and reseated the memory I don't know how many times.....
I'm suspecting it's a problem with the mother board...
but would like to exhaust all possibilities first.
I tried contacting asus.... but they wanted a serial number and I couldn't find one on it..
and they wouldn't accept the one from the bios??????
anyways thanks in advance
