motherboard RAM failures
First cut, brush out the sockets (maybe it's just a bit of lint); second,
check the datasheet to be sure, sometimes the memory sizes and socket numbers have to be in some specific order. Third, return the board as defective, of course. A lot of manufacturers put their boards through test with only one socket populated, and that doesn't find all bad-socket issues. I even had one computer that shut down every time socket #2 was used: the socket itself was inserted backwards (it was shorting the whole power supply through the memory module). |
