    Rig feels slow, need help

    What do you mean "slow"? Did you make sure to manually update important drivers like your GPU?

    Yes, I have updated all my drivers. But do you think it has something to do with my ram setup? It said (Manual) I should put them in slots A_1 and B_1, which I then did, but didn't work. So I put the ram in A_1 and A_2 which is when it did work.

    There's your problem, that's not an optimal setup... A1 & B1 or A2 & B2, never put them in the same letters unless you've got 3 or 4 sticks (you should never have 3 sticks, by the way).

    Why didn't A1 & B1 work? You might want to RMA that, sounds like B1 might be DOA.

    Poppasan, can you post a picture of your RAM as it is in A1 and A2?

    Well damn, looks like they don't color code on those boards at all. :P

    Did you look close on the motherboard to see which slots are labeled what?

    Sometimes slots will be A1, A2, B1, B2, and sometimes, A1, B1, A2, B2.

    The manual says it is A1 | A2 | B1 | B2 (MoBo layout on page 13, DIMM installation on page 20).

    Poppasan: Once again, try A2 and B2 - or consider RMAing the board - A1 and B1 should work, if it isn't, B1 might be dead.

    I'm so blind I read the manual and it seems it's in the order of A_1, A_2 etc... Looks like I was just stupid. Do you think that the slowness would be caused by me using a 32-bit version of W7?

    When I try A_2 and B_2, the screen is just black. Nothing comes on the screen.

    That certainly wouldn't help... 32-bit operating systems cannot utilize anymore than 3.25GB of RAM.

    Why would you buy a 32 bit W7? x_x

    Hmh. So I should just wait for my copy of 64-bit W7?

    @DeltrusDisc, I had it lying around, when something else happened to my copy of 64-bit version... =.=

    So, A_1 does work, but it seems B_1 and B_2 are dead. Should I return it?
