Finally, I got it to work! :)
It seems that the BIOS on the SX4 card can report the DIMM-module as
beeing OK, while it sure isn't.
After moving the card to another system, and the same error occured I
ran memtest86 on the DIMM-module, and it shows up OK. When trying the
Memtest.exe (downloaded from Promise web-site) to check DIMM module when
installed in SX4, it reported it as FAILED.
It seems it is worth noticing this as the BIOS DIMM check-thingy seems
to be not-so-clever ;)
Thanks for the replies I got.
Sincerely,
Simen Rønning

That looks like a problem if there is a DIMM present.

Have you tried a different SX4 card? Perhaps your hardware is faulty.
