Took out all 4 sticks of ram, put 1 stick in channel a, tried to boot - no change, tried channel b, tried to boot - no luck. tried channel a's second slot and it didnt work. Tried a different stick all together in channel A and B and no luck. Tried 2 different sticks of ram from 2 different PCs (not at the same time, I kept them matching)
