is my memery controller going bad?

[LordMustangGT]

So I go to start up my pc, light come on, but no screen. Get a FF on my mobo. I figure out im having ramm issues. It wont boot with one stick, or the two, tired changing slots, i even change ramm with another machine. Then it starts booting once in awhile. Alls good, and i go to set the ramm to it speed and bam, no boot. I hit the mem ok button and it wont even boot. Only if i let it sit for a bit and come back does it boot again. So at this point I'm thinking my 9590 memory controllers bad or iffy. So next time it booted i left everything to auto and it boots up and set the memory to 1600 on it own, its 1866 memery tho.  This is the ramm I swapped from other system, tho. In the two or three years of owning the machine, I had 2400 memory in it, it would only do 2166 tho ever. then after a year or so it would only do 1866, then 6 months later 1600, then all this started. hope this wasn't to confusing,   Machine is whats in profile. Pretty sure I've rooted out ramm being the issue, and the cpu is throwing fits.. lmk what you guys think.

I did a little digging, and apparently, the FF code signals some rather......bad stuff, probably.

I had a look with Google to find how a fix would be possible, and...this seems about right.

did all the unplug everything and all that, only thing that seems to change it from booting and not is screwing with the ramm. Once it boots, it runs fine as normal. I'm on the machine as of now, and it seems to boot fine now, but only time will tell. It's not the first time its done this to me, but every time it does happen, its worse than the last..

just to follow up on this a lil. The next time I shut it off it never booted again. I swapped my FX6300 in, no boot. The FF on the mobo never even changes ever like its checking anything else even....  asus have a 3 or 5 year warranty right...???
