Tayzer Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I have an EPOX 8rda MB and put two sticks of dual channel Value Select total = one GIG and I get a memory alarm and a code (C1), and the system won't even turn on the video card let alone post. The modules are in the correct position for dual channel. My specs are as follows: Athlon 2800+ XP Barton GeForce 5700LE 256 DDR Creative Audigy ATI TV Wonder Intel Pro100B Ethernet 1 HDD 1 CD/DVD 400Watt PS Memory=Corsair Value Select Dual Channel 1024MB PC2700 DDR 333MHz Memory (2 x 512MB) I put my old memory back in and it runs beautifully, but I'm limited to 266DDR instead of 333. I see that the VS memory may need a minimum of 2.6 Volts. Any Ideas? If I can't get into the BIOS how do I change the voltage? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Try one stick at a time in the first slot, see if it'll boot at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayzer Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 Thanks for the reply. That's what it took. I boosted the voltage to 2.7 with my old memory and stuck the first stick in and voila...it posted. Then I stuck the other one in and it was stable and snappy. :laughing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 10, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 10, 2004 We rate all of our DDR modules up to 2.9 Volts and as I remember this MB had some voltage issues so upping the voltage to 2.8 would but prudent as well if you have any more problems.
