But the randomness after swapping sticks around makes me suspect you may have a failing motherboard component.

I have been thinking the same thing, Allyn. The MB seems to be sensitive and may loose power with minor changes. When this happens, I reseat the two power supply connectors and the fans start spinning again.

Are you using high performance RAM that is rated for a higher than normal voltage? Or is it Corsair Value Select or something of that nature?

I'm currently using 1 stick of 512 PC 2700. Initially, I had 4 sticks of 512 PC 3200 installed, but as mentioned above, the MB only supports 2 sticks of PC 3200 or 4 sticks of PC 2700.

We really haven't helped that much have we?

Allyn, I have received more help from you and other members of this forum than any other source. I am confident that, with your help and the help of others, the problem will ultimately be solved. :clap:
