It seems probable that the memory fault is causing the BIOS to crash before it gets a chance to enable ECC - thus no errors are logged. It could also be a bus-loading issue with the FB-DIMMs (such that no memory can be issued - maybe a faulty AMB chip on one of the sticks).
Try the system with half the original RAM in at a time - you could also try moving each stick up by four slots (and wrapping round). Tim. Henrik Schmiediche wrote: > Did that.
