asus P5E-VM HDMI (nice board)
some ram just doesn't get along with some boards. It happens. To say it's bad by only testing it in one board is premature but after a couple you start to get the picture. hey if it's brand ram, you can probably get a new stick under the lifetime warranty.

it wasnt the board. so thought it might be the cpu, but its brand new I thought. so I pulled all ram off except for one stick no hdd no nothing except for the cpu. and still nothing, so I tried clearing the cmos on the new board and WOW it booted so sweet to hear that single mobo beep. turned it off and put all the ram back in and no boot. tried puting one stick at a
time back and long story short, when the ram stick in slot 3 is in it wont boot,. Why is this so? bad ram? never seen ram do this, it worked fine with other cpu b4 swap. maybe I
damaged it in swap.
