  • Mood: pissed off
  • Music: "System Failed Memory Test"

Alas, poor Zorac

The Good: New PC components arrived today as promised.
The Bad: I put it all together and it completely fails to boot, just sits there complaining that both of my swanky pre-tested DIMMs are defective. Unfortunately, I have nothing else to test with.
The Ugly: The motherboard manufacturer's web sit is down at the moment, so I can't even go there to look stuff up. To add to the fun, I have no food and a large pile of dirty washing up.

Got some food and alcohol and read DV11, so feeling slightly better (if somewhat cliffhung). Managed to get onto Asus website and verify that the DIMMs I have are tested as working with the mobo, so either it the RAM is at fault. I'll have to try and test it at work tomorrow, assuming we have any machines that take DDR memory...

Still Not worKing.
