I got 2 of these boards for work builds and one of them will not POST if there is memory in slot B0 (2nd slot for triple-channel setup). I updated the BIOS with no luck, any ideas? Know that the memory is good.

Thanks,
Dan

Update: I went to RMA it and saw that a couple of the pins on the socket were bent. I used a needle to bend them back and it works fine.
