I just installed the 9NPA+ less than an hour ago and had the same problem. I tried slots 3 and 4 and got a no-POST and 52 error code (memory problem). Put a single stick in slot 1 and works fine. Havent tried other confiugurations but according to the manual 3 and 4 should be ideal for dual channel, right?

1 and 2 or 3 and 4. According to page 3-5 of the manual. |

hardware and Snatchface... could you post your memory brand and specs and also you clock speed (overclocking?)?
The HTT, FSB, and memory timing in your BIOS could cause boot failure too. Specially if the BIOS fails to correctly read the timming information from the SPD chip on your memory module. |

I guess you guys got the problem fix since there hasn't been any feedback.  Feel free to post again. |

i bought the same board a couple of months ago and encountered exactly the same problem. this afternoon i received a replacement from the retailer and this board also has dimm-socket issues. i get the C1 post code whenever any memory is installed in any socket (and also if none are installed).
this really is a shocking board.
i reckon i'll be returning it to exchange it for a different model. can anyone recommend a decent SLI board for about £100 that isn't rubbish? |

Same problem here - although my board starts up with two sticks of ram in dimm 1 & 2, I got constant errors when I tried to install windows - BSOD's, restarts, can't load file, etc...
I memtested both ram stick (individualy and together in DC) and no errors.
The strangest thing is that everything was running perfect untill now. |

Well - it is set on AUTO.
Is it possible that memory controler in CPU is dying? Or is completely motherboard's fault? |
