[QUOTE="Horsa, post: 1902043, member: 403905"] RAM-SWAP TEST: I labelled each riser to ensure no mistakes. Swapped the sticks around between the two risers. Fitted each riser back in its original location. Result: Originally, riser B was showing 4 "empty" slots. Now it's riser A that's coming up empty. Conclusion: there's nothing wrong with the riser boards themselves. Somehow, 4 sticks of RAM - all on the same riser - have died/been killed by an event of some kind. Not exactly good news. :( As it's not good practice to have all of your working RAM on one riser, I guess my next task should be to take out the dead RAM and spread the remaining sticks across both risers in the approved pattern.
