IT LIVES!
Well, maybe the RAM wasn’t faulty after all. I’m not sure, but something’s a bit screwy. I changed the RAM timings in my BIOS to match the manufacturer’s specifications (which it should have been doing automatically by SPD anyway), and installed it in a single channel configuration.
It passed memtest and I successfully installed Windows. Setting it up in dual channel results in it failing memtest right away. WTF?
I have now noticed that Abit have a BIOS update available promising “increased RAM compatibilty”.
Abit, you fuckers, I’m watching you.
