Problems with ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe

[sPlAtOiD]

Two things.
First The raid setup wouldn't let me make the striped array bootable the option was grayed out.
Second The board is the pickiest board I've ever worked with.
I just bought two more 512 mem sticks that were listed in the motherboard book and they still wont work right. I can put them both in the B Slots but cant do Dual channel mem and cant put them in the A slots. I now have 3 sets of 512 chips and am getting tired of fighting with this piece. Any suggestions other than a stick of dynamite. Thanks

Oh and to top it off one of the Video cards just died after about one hour of use. OK i'm done.

Here's The specs. And I returned the first MOBO and got another. And the replacment card is coming soon. The power supply is fine but I still can only get the memory to work in the B slots.

ok dude I am sorry to have heard about your dilehma and want you to know that I am working on a solution, a friend of mine has the same issue

I'm thinking that even though the book says that the Kingston ram i bought is compatible, that maybe it need to be corsair or something more expansive. Although I've never ran into such a problem before. Thanks for looking into it.
