Mario, In order that we can help, please list all the components inside, and also connected outside(eSATA, USB etc) by model numbers that make up your system when this is happening. Include the PSU and its age. Knowing these will help us in turn help you. |

And now knowing what 6a error is on your motherboard, can I assume you bought the board separately and are re-using what memory you had there already, prior to buying the board? 6a is memory related. Here and know I don't need to know anything about your system as I asked above other than the make, model, and size(s) of the memory that you are using. |

Ok, they're part number BLT2CP8G3D1608DT1TX0CEU . Using one stick, starting at the slot furthest from the CPU, place this ONE stick and see if she'll boot. If not, grab the other stick and place it in the same slot and see if she'll boot. BRB, gotta run to the store quick like. |

But did you do what I asked and tried with EACH stick separately? I'm trying to rule out it being a bad stick. Or if it is a comparability issue? The individual you bought the board from. Is it possible to ask them, if they remember, what BIOS revision it is currently flashed to? |

When you re-installed the CPU, did you check the CPU Socket closely that there are no bent, misshapen, or misaligned pins residing in the socket? |

Your writing is fine. I understand what it is you're conveying.
Ummm, I think you maybe should reconsider it is "OK'. Bent pins are bent pins. That's not something I myself would have accepted in purchasing a motherboard, not bent CPU Socket pins. I don't mean to come across as rude in saying this but now knowing the socket pins are awry, and mind you posting these msgs in a forum Continents apart, you really need to get a motherboard without the problems of bent pins before going forward here. There really is no point diagnosing further until that happens. The misplaced pins could very well be what you and I are banging our collective heads over. |

Mario, do come back and post how things get along after your next motherboard arrives. Paying via PayPal is nice in these circumstances. |
