Motherboard: Asus M5A97
Memory: F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
CPU: AMD FX-6100 3.3ghz
Problem: Where to start.... It really quite confusing because of how random it is. Let me try to start from the beginning.
I finished putting my computer together, booted up. Everything was great. The ram was running at 8 GB but only 1600. Since this ram is supposed to run at 1866 I changed the timings to 9-10-9-28 and the voltage to 1.5v. Then the Mhz to 1866. Rebooted and it was back down to 4GB at 1866Mhz. For some reason everytime I tried to change it to 1866 it would go back to 4GB, I tried browsing forums. I tried D.O.C.P, manual, auto. I tried multiple different settings and configurations. Nothing worked. It always went back to 4 GB. Finally i said forget it, it was running good enough at 8GB 1600mhz. Then tonight I noticed it was only running 4 again. So I rebooted and trying changing it to 1866 and then back to 1600 again hoping that would work. It didn't. So I took 1 stick out and booted it. No such luck. Wouldn't even boot. The fans and LEDs and such were all running but it wouldn't post, just a black screen. I tried the MemOK! button to no avail. So I tried the other stick. Same thing....I then tried both sticks in the other DIMM slots. I tried them 1 by 1 in every slot. Nothing... Why would it work(halfway) for a few days then just stop working all together? Bad ram? Should I get a replacement?
