I have an ASUS MB and the previous version of the same make/model
board had a major malfunction.  When I put memory in A1/B1, it worked
fine, but when I put memory in A1/A2/B1/B2 or A1/A2/B2 or A1/A2 it
would only boot to a blank screen.  I hope this is not the case, or
you will
be stuck with the problem of having to avoid using the particular memory
slot that is causing the malfunction.  I also tried mixing and matching
the memory boards between the slots, same results.  The same memory
boards are working fine in my current MB, AMD64 with 8GB.
