Core i7 build not booting with all RAM

[carnageX]

I'd say just RMA the board for now, Jesse. The RAM works fine, we've already verified that, so it'd have to be the board's slots.

And Mak: I already looked all over the BIOS for different memory options and couldn't find anything for tri-channel being enabled or disabled either. We weren't even able to get his memory to clock to the default 8-8-8-21 @ 1600mhz either...so it could possibly be bad slots if the BIOS update didn't work.

It would have to be the board.

Ya, I am going to RMA the board to newegg. I hope I don't have problems in the future but its a computer haha. Good thing EVGA has a lifetime warranty for this board.

Sorry about the double-post. I downgraded from the latest bios to SZ1C and it reads all my ram and uses it in tri-channel now, but it won't let me clock it to 1600mhz. In the bios and post the board recognizes my 2 dvd drives but in windows the drives dont show up in disk management. Both drives are ide connected to the board.

Edit: I switched a few of the pata/sata settings around and it now recognizes my drive, my problem now is getting the ram up to 1600mhz.
