I think one of my ram slots is broken because when I put the rams into other slots, everything worked fine and booted to windows.

When I put a working ram into the first slot the computer wont boot.
Its just a blackscreen nothingness.

1. Is there a way to replace the ram slot or do i have to get a new board?
2. Can this be a side effect of overclocking? Because ive set the bus speed back to stock already yesterday.

I dont think there is any way to replace the ram slot, try contacting the manufacturer and see if you can RMA the board.

Make sure you are putting the ram in all the way, that could be why it doesnt work perhaps.

and if you cant RMA and cant get it working it might be cheaper to put a 2gb stick in just the 1 slot if your board will take it rather than 2x1gb sticks, at least you will have the same memory that way

I was planning to get a new processor to increase fps in crysis. Now im gonna have to get a new board too. probably cost me some 120 $

Disregard my comment, the LE-1150 is an AM2 socket, fairly recent

i have a noob question.

Can a socket am3 processor fit in a socket am2+ motherboard?
or should i get an am3 board which is expensive.

Also can I use different types of ddr2 in different memory slots?
Like
slot 1: ddr2 800
slot 2: ddr2 677

Just to answer the 2nd question about the ram, you can, but you will have to run them at the same speed.

First question, no you can't Am3 needs an AM3 board due to different key placement.

Second question, yes you can run different ram in different slots, but both slots will run at the slowest speed I.E 667Mhz.

ok thanks all for your input. I guess ill buy the exact same model of motherboard. What a waste of money. "sigh"

The broken ram slot might be the result of my recent overclocking. OC the 2.0ghz to 2.2 and i get a broken ram slot

Uhh yes it can. The AM2+ board just needs to have support for the AM3 chip. Though you can't use an AM2+ CPU on an AM3 board.
