The 7500F mysteriously fails to boot with my own RAM kit; however, it boots fine with a friend’s RAM kit. Sometimes it fails to detect RAM (the heatsink remains cold to the touch, indicating no power). Occasionally, it runs only in single-channel mode. The CPU was accidentally dropped onto the floor during installation of a new one, and has not been reinstalled or tested since. Considered completely faulty — no returns or exchanges.
