Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4

AMD Phenom 9500

Crucial Ballistix Tracers 1066

 

I have till Monday to RMA and I am pushing for time. In my last post I was looking for help with why XP would not install and we narrowed it down to the RAM. Makes since to be because it has

 

BSOD while trying to install XP

Freezes on 3 different Linuxs start menu at I hit Start Live

Randomly beeps like it can't recognize RAM

and EVEN freezes in BIO which I find odd

 

but

 

I have done a memtests and It has passed and failed... failed more than passed
