JUST4FUN Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Hi hope you can help me, I have a GA-8KNXP v1 runing optimized default bios with 2 x 512 ddr400 ram of Samsung in dual channel in dimm 1 and 4, P4 2.6 800 FSB,it was runing fine until I bought another 2 x 512 ddr400 of Corsair value select, when I install the two new sticks in dimm 2 and 4 to run in dual channel my computer keeps re-booting over and over, XP never loads not even from the instal disk of XP, if I remove the new ram the computer then restarts but then my OS is not stable and when I try to start in safe mode it will simply lock up, I then have to re install my OS. Any help or sugestions would be greatly appreciated, I have already send the first set of new ram back and got another set thinking that maybe the ram was bad. Thank you for any help, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Did you try the Corsair by itself? Mixing different brands of memory isn't a good idea. If you want to run 4 sticks they all should be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUST4FUN Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 CMC SAVAGE, OK. It seems like the Corsair works fine by itself, so what could be the problem. This Gigabyte motherboard is supposed to handle up to 4gigs of memory, any sugestions. Thank you, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 There seems to be too much of a difference between the Corsair and Samsung Modules to run them together. Like I said mixing different brands with Corsair in most cases usually does'nt work, depending on the system. This becomes harder to do with 4 sticks. You could try to manually set the timings to the pair with the highest latency and bump the Dimm voltage to 2.7. I doubt they'll run together though. If you want to run 2GB of RAM, I'd suggest getting 4 of the same modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjoseph10 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Actually i think this has to do with single and double sided ram. you can only use double-sided ram in slots 1 and 4. you can only use single-sided ram in slotes 2,3,5 and 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
