Had the same thing happen with my 2 previous builds...for some reason they fell in love with the ram and wouldn't work without em...or with any others...like...they became monogamous.

My upgrade fever is breaking. I started researching and saw that usb3 is arriving as is an updated sata6. That being said Newegg.ca is offering 10% off everything for the next few days...
