Note that the card is in slot B1. So far, none of the cards have worked in slots A1 or A2. The card pictured here is seated properly, and the white clasp is down. On MemTest, as soon as the test started, errors appeared on screen

Swapped in card 3 of 4. Again it's getting errors only on test 6. There's still one card remaining, and I believe one card IS dead. If 3 of 4 cards fail on test 6, I'm willing to believe that it's a BIOS problem.

..Unless of course the cards are actually just incompatible with the motherboard, in which case, swapping out for new RAM will be the only way to fix it. Remember, ASUS said the sticks weren't on the Quality Verified list. Rather than trying to make two things that aren't compatible compatible, just abide by that list.

It sucks that there are many Corsair listed, but this specific one isn't :( Card #3 again reads errors on 6, but also a few from 8. We'll see how card 4 reacts.

Under the QVL - DDR3 1866 this is as close as it gets.

CORSAIR CMT32GX3M4X1866C9(Ver3.23)(XMP) 32GB ( 4x 8GB ) DS - - 9-10-9-27 1.5

The part no. for our RAM sticks is CMZ32GXM4A1866C9. Think there's a way to exchange it through ASUS?

Also there are now 2 cards, one in A1 one in B1, and it's only reading one card in B1.

Adam,

What's the status of this? Did you get it resolved? What was your final solution?

So far my dad is looking into new RAM, G.Skill. We checked the QVL and double-checked online copies and it checks out. After asking around it could still be the BIOS, hopefully we'll be calling my uncle who knows what he's doing. After showing him pictures he saw that on the BIOS screen under memory it was reading 1333Hz not 1866Hz so we have to manually set that in the BIOS. We will be calling him soon and working it out from there. If it IS the memory 100% sure, then we have G.Skill on the QVL to use.

FINAL SOLUTION:

I took out 2 of the 4 RAM sticks, changed the timings, and adjusted the Memory reading frequency.

After about a month, the computer blue screened ONCE.

My father ordered G.Skill RipJaws and I replaced the Corsair Vengeance with them, and there have been no errors since.

The resolution was that the RAM Sticks are not compatible. There are 32GB totals which ARE compatible, but I advise anyone building a computer to check, double check, and triple check all manuals, part numbers, and compatibilities before you build a computer!

It is much appreciated when someone reports the final resolution of a problem they have asked about here.

So thanks.
