MSI 845 Ultra - Ram probs

[Bass_Player69]

I have just recently purchased a MSI 845 Ultra with RAID...it seems my 3rd memory slot does not want to accept ram. I have tryed 2 different models of working ram and each time i try to boot up my system will not post, it powers up but the hard drive light stays light and it does not post. i dont know if this 3rd slot is defective or what. just wondering if any else has had the same problem or maybe i got a faulty board. ?(
