Way to go ASUS tech support.

Had a problem with memory in slot 3 of a new A7N8X. It would not work
in 3 but would in 1 and 2.

Contacted ASUS online and had an answer in three hours.


They had me to place electrician tape under the board at the screw
points. Worked fine.

I know why this is the 5th generation of ASUS board.

What the hell is up with ASUS and not grounding boards through the screws? They
all have a solder ring around them as if they're meant to be grounded, and my
P4P800's User Guide and Quick Setup Guide don't say anything about insulating
them, but when I got my replacement for the board which I RMA'd because the BIOS
was hosed (not my fault, cpr didn't work, crashfree didn't work), it came with a
sheet of notes for common problems which included insulating the screws.
