Hi, I got this new mobo and 2 sticks of ram wont work in the first two slots. The ram is brand new from OCZ. I have 8gb of the same type of ram, and only the last two slots seem to work. When I put all 4 in or just first 2 the computer wont show a picture. I know 8gb prob is to much for just cod/mmo, but its brand new and it doesnt work.
Is there a program that I can use to test the slots? Or maybe Im doing something wrong?

When you examine your computer's motherboard, you will most likely be able to identify the memory slots attached to it. RAM and its corresponding slots are often identified by the number of pins being used to connect them. For example, your desktop computer may utilize a 168-pin SDRAM module. Hi, I got this new mobo and 2 sticks of ram wont work in the first two slots. The ram is brand new from OCZ. I have 8gb of the same type of ram, and only the last two slots seem to work. To check the new RAM wasn't defective, I tried it in slot 1, a known good slot. All 4 sticks of RAM worked in slot 1, so the RAM wasn't faulty. All 4 sticks work in every slot except slot 2 (the first black RAM slot). If I put any stick in slot 2 - old or new - the PC is dead, it won't even boot to the BIOS. Open the Task Manager and go to the Performance tab. Select ‘Memory’ and under the memory graph, look for the Slots used field. It will tell you how many of the total slots are currently in use. In the screenshot below, the system has a total of 2 slots, and one of them is in use. I have a motherboard with only 2 Slots for memory. Now i was just thinking, could you sauter wire to another memory slot on some circuit board and expand your motherboard max capacity? I know in resource manager it says 2/4 dimms occupied so I know my chipset certainly isn't limited to only 2 mem slots.
