My ram will no longer boot in dual mode

[ohboy!]

Hi all,

something strange has happened with my system.....

My ram will no longer boot in dual mode - have checked ram and its fine -
windows and cpu-z see the 2 x 512mb in dual slots but saus its in single
mode.

I have had the cpu tested and have been told the same happened with the test
system!!!!
Now my system boots but I get a blank screen up until windows start up - no
boot sequence is visible.

my system

a64 4000
msi k8n diamond sli
2 x 6800 ultras pci-e
2 x 512 corsair 3200 xl twinx
or 2 x 512 g.skill 4400 dual set
win xp pro
not overclocked - default settings
the tester said it looks to be the memory controller on the cpu die - never
seen this problem before. It all started with kernal errors and has got
worse and worse.

any ideas?

Not much you can do except contact the vendor or AMD for a replacement
processor.
