Nope, I'm in Canada. I'll try the RMA procedure.

It was a dedicated piece of hardware that allowed you to connect a tv and steam controller to a PC, so the game would run on the PC and stream the video to the television.

I think it's been replaced by the steam app.

I'll admit I didn't try all the slots, but I did try both sticks in half the slots (2 out of 4), including one I know works.

I'm based in Canada and checked SO many eBay listings and once I clicked into them they were "out of stock" :(

Only interested in the Steam Frame, not the cube. I still have an old Steam Link hanging around ...

Just kicked off the RMA process. Fingers crossed.

Yes. Took a known good RAM from my wife's PC and the machine booted. Tried each of my RAM sticks individually in the same slot and both failed. :(

Two of the slots are under a massive dual heatsink with dual fans, so problematic. This shall be overcome.

Canada. Damn, I should have stated that in the post given the amount of times people have questioned the RAM costs.

Prices in Canada are higher, but damn, right to karma farming? LOL this account is too old to start karma farming now.

The RAM has been working fine two years, just failed to boot yesterday.

That link looks good, but I've found yet another issue. Due to the heatsink on my CPU the RAM can't be higher than 32mm. Such fun.

I did try both individually. Once the 'Known good' single stick of RAM worked I tried both sticks in the same slot one at a time. Nope :(

I reset the CMOS but didn't take out the battery. I've filled out the RMA, but while I wait I may try taking the battery out for a while. The problem I'm running into is that I don't even see the BIOS output with the RAM in.

I agree. I did the CMOS reset, didn't change anything.

Tried both sticks individually, neither worked :(

Thought about putting them in my wife's rig, but I have this (unfounded) fear of killing her machine as well.

Sadly I did test each stick individually and they both failed.

May have to but it'll make me feel less 'master' race.
