[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1647692, member: 24160"] If you get the 3 beeps from the computer when booting while the RAM is in that slot - it is not a software issue. Frankly, have never seen nor heard of any software issue that could cause RAM to be unrecognizable in only one slot. For it to even be considered a software issue, the machine would have to boot up to the point where it was trying to load the OS from the drive - and even then, while rare, it could still be hardware.
