jbosco Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I have the following: KINGMAX SuperRam MPXB62D-38KT3R, 256MB, PC400, CL2.5 1st Memory Slot Corsair XMS Extreme CMX512-3200LL 184 Pin 512MB DDR 3rd Memory Slot Athlon 64 3200 128 MG PNY Geforce 6800 Serial ATA 150 120gb Hard drive ASUS K8V SE Deluxe Motherboard Bios Version 1003.2 How do I get the Corsair memory to work. If I put it in slot 1 by itself my computer wont boot and the Mothereboard just beeps. If I put it in slot 3 with the Kingmax memory in slot 1 my computers boots but do not register the Corsair Memory. Is the any settings I need to change in the BIOS? Am I doing something wrong? I am kinda new to this. Thanks, James Bosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 3, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 3, 2004 Please try and reset the bios with just our module installed and see if it will post. However, with this platform and or MB you would not be able to Mix memory. Either use our modules or use the other makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbosco Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 I downloaded the Latest Version of the BIOS Version 1004. I tried it and it by itself, it still did not work, the computer just beeps and beeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 3, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 3, 2004 Did you try and reset the bios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbosco Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Yes i did. I was able to get it to post with the Kingston Memory. It loaded windows just fine. Is that what you are asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 3, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 3, 2004 Not exactly what I was looking for. Let me re-frase the question. With just our module installed and resetting the bios (with no power connected and the battery removed there should be a jumper to clear the bios) will it post with our module installed?

jbosco Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Ok, I know what you mean. No I have not tried that. I will do that this evening and let you know how it goes. Thanks for all the help so far!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 3, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 3, 2004 No Problem, by the way if it will post with our module, just load setup defaults and then set the Dim Voltage to 2.8 Volts and test the system with just our module installed with http://www.memtest.org. But I am sure it will not post with both modules installed, sorry that is just a limitation of the memory controller, in that both modules would need to be matched.

jbosco Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Is this what you are talking about? 1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC) This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in the CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The Ram data in CMOS, that include system setup information such as system passwrods, is powered by the onboard button cell battery. To erase the RTC RAM 1. Turn of the computer and uplug the power cord 2. Remove the onboard Battery 3. Move the jumper for pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap pins 2-3 for about 5-10 seconds, then move them back to 1-2 4. Replace the battery 6. Put in Cosair Memory 5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer 6. Enter BIOS 7. Load the BIOS Default Settings or key-in data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
