    I got this mobo and when i am using the Dual Channel (putting the memories next toi each other) i am having blue screen when the system uses the memory.
    then i tried to work the memory in the next slot and now its not working Dual Channel but its faster (i think) and i dont get blue screens anymore.
    In the beggining i thought maybe its the memories but i have tried 3 brand new pairs and i get the same.
    Do u think the warranty will cover that?

    Are you using a dual channel kit sometimes called a matched pair? This is important and will lead to problems like this if not.

    I am not sure, I would guess a mobo problem maybe someone else will have a idea.

    list your specs

    That MOBO has 4 memory slots?
    Have you tryed switching slot's?
    Dual channel can be obtained using slot 1&2 or 3&4
    Gigabyte reccomends 1&2

    Dual channel adds almost no advantage, but if ya got board that's support's it, Ya might as well use it.

    Rig works fine when not in dual channel? Run memory test, maybe your ram chips not up to snuff.
    You said you tryed three brand new pairs were they the same exact brand?

    As Doby suggest's may be mobo problem, slot/channel issues, RMA it, if so hopfully you purchase from good retailer, cause if you got to send it back to Gigabyte ya better not be in a hurry, it took 4 months to get back the last mobo I sent to them under Warranty I actually got it back in two months, but they didnt fix it so it was returned then another two months I got it, They Suck.

    Last thought are you running memory at stock speeds/manufacture rated or reccomended timing's, ya might try relaxing the timings.
