dead memory slots

[ki8aras]

hey everyone, im currently trying to troubleshoot an ecs x58b-a motherboard(pictured below) with an i7 920

the problem is, that no matter what i try, the only memory slots that work are the yellow ones(meaning that if i insert ram in one of the orange ones, the system infinitely bootloops)

has anyone of you come across this problem before? and if yes, did you manage to find a fix?

does it work if you have ram all in the yellow ones and then populate the orange ones? it has a preference for the yellow ones first, and then the orange ones. you also want to do that because it's triple channel, so if you run it in orange+yellow, yellow, nothing instead of yellow, yellow, yellow then it's only dual channel

it's awkward for the IMC to talk to 2/3rds of the ram on the yellow and then the last one on orange and that's why it doesn't work (and also it's an older IMC, older ones are more strict on what is proper and works)

ive populated all of the yellow ones, but if i try to populate even one of the yellow ones, the system doesnt boot
