I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the mismatched low and high density memory modules that are the problem?
that sounds quite likely. some of those modules have two banks on the single module, and I seriously doubt a system is going to like a single bank and a dual bank module in a dual channel environment.
I got in the habit a long time ago of *always* using matched memory modules.
I've learnt my lesson now John.
Well at least I won't mix hi and lo density modules again.
Here's the link for my Asrock m/b:

It does not support dual channel memory.
I'll keep y'all posted on the outcome of this saga :)
