ok here are my current specs:

DFI Lanprty SLI-DR
AMD 3500
BFG 7800
1024 Corsair XMS
80 gig WD HD

I have a problem booting up when i have both sticks of XMS in dual channel mode. My comp gets half way through loading windows when it just reboots, which is an indication that you have bad ram. But if i use one of the two stick (so only 512) and try to boot up, then its fine. Its only when my ram is in slots 2 and 4 that i have issues.

The only way to sucessfully boot up is to pop the battery out of my mobo and just reset my bois, then i can only boot up that once. Once i load everything then Windows runs fine. I have no idea about whats wrong. Is it my Mobo, bad, or do i jsut need to flash my bios or what. or is my memory jsut screwy. I have warrenties on both so i can RMA either one, jsut i need to konw whats wrong.

Any help would be great, thanks!
