Here I'd say pull the CPU and look closely in the CPU socket for misplaced pin(s). Use a magnifying glass as the amplify any possible irregularities.
Don't see anything. Hard to see, but I took some photos with my phone and zoomed into an impolite level. :-)
the CPU cooler isn't/didn't get tightened to firmly did it?
I don't think so, I read somewhere else that that was a problem for some folks, so I dialed back on the cooler screws just-in-case.
And depending on any overhang of the cooler, you sure it isn't simply a matter of the D1 mem not being firmly and fully seated in its slot?
not a huge overhang from the cooler - it's a Corsair H60 - the heat sink is relatively compact. I've pulled the DIMM and inspected the slot, there doesn't appear to be anything stuck in there... and the DIMM seats in well. Well enough that the System Browser is picking it up.
Odd D1 shows highlighted in Red in that System Browser pic. IIRC it should show as Yellow like the other one.
the D1 is highlighted in red because the mouse is hovering over it. When you hover over it, the details show up, so I was confirming that it was picking up the right memory. They all match.
