    Default Update:

    So I guess I got what I wanted and didn't at the same time...

    I put all three of the old sticks back in the a1 b1 c1 slots and then rebooted.

    Then I put two of the new 4gb sticks into the a1 b1 slots. But my PC won't enter bios with a third 4gb stick in the c2 slot.

    So now I have 14gb instead of the 12 I would have had if the new ram worked the first time I put it In.

    So now I have a spare 4gb stick. Maybe someday my PC will get off it's period and let me put my other stick in. 0.o lol

    Using 5 out of 6 sticks is affecting how your board is utilizing it's channels and it's probably not worth it. Have you looked into
    different BIOS revisions at all?

    Also, this is definitely a strange problem. It couldn't hurt to ask for asus support on this (Although this could be laughable)
