Re: how to verify a dead ram slot?

It's actually the only way I can think of.

Take a known good chip and put in a slot and boot, see what you get. Then move it to the next slot and check again. That will show you what slots are good.

If all slots are good, check each stick of memory one by one.

It's sounds like a pain in the ass, but it is a sure-fire way of testing. Process of elimination.
