Nice.

A1 is dead.

System will boot with either or both of the sticks in B1 and C1.

I'm able to also boot it with the third stick in either A2 B2 or C2...but only if there is at least one stick in B1 or C1.

Trying to boot with any combination of memory in A2 B2 or C2 does not work if there is no memory in either B1 or C1. I don't get any beeps. It just sits there and loops without POSTing or spitting out any video. No clues.

Well, I reflashed the board to the latest BIOS, which surprisingly opened up some additional memory config options. Apparently its a fix for what became a known issue.

Funny thing happened next: Still wouldn't recognize memory on its own in channel 2...but Windows and BIOS would both see the memory in channel 2, and that was new. So I got it to register all 6 gigs as long as one stick was in channel 1. But this was with all memory independent...no dual channel, even...which is strange.

So I then just stuck the channel 1 stick into the last slot in channel 2 and hard rebooted...and it restarted itself twice, with an additional beep, and then booted up fine in triple channel on channel 2.

Success!!! ...if totally wierd and random.

Thanks for the assistance, guys.

Glad you got it working.
