Solve : Issues.. MB or Memory??

Answer»

I have a desktop, a Dell, which is presenting some confusing errors... I'm not sure which to replace.. the memory or the motherboard.

Symptom 1:

Slot1: Stick1 = No POST just hangs at black screen
Slot2: Stick2

Symptom 2:

Slot1: Stick2 = Video card recognized and hangs
Slot2: Stick1

Symptom 3:

Slot1: Stick1 = Diagnostic Failure (Memory Data Bus Stress Test)
Slot2: Empty

Symptom 4:

Slot1: Stick2 = DIAGNOSTICS Pass and SYSTEM boots
Slot2: Empty

It would seem that Stick 1 is DEFECTIVE.. but isn't the stress test for the data bus on the board?
