k8v se deluxe with CMX512 3200c2pro

[jfbco41]

My mobo is not recognizing 2nd stick of cmx512 3200c2pro memory. Works with one, but when I put in 2nd stick, still shows system memory at 512. Is there a compatability problem here? Any way to resolve?

3 questions:

 

1. What slot are you putting the RAM in?

2. What bios are you using?

3. What frequency and voltage do you have the RAM set to?

 

That MOBO may only allow double sided RAM in certain slots. Your RAM is DS, not SS, so check your manual for the correct slots.

1. I've tried slots 1 & 2 and 1 & 3 (also 2 & 3), all with same result - only 1 stick lights up. Mobo manual advises either of 1 & 2 or 1 & 3.

2. Using 1005.007 bios - also tried updating to beta 1006

3. Voltage = 2.7, frequency = 200 x 2

 

I was wondering if this memory works in single channel system (mobo is single channel socket 754)

Yes, this RAM will work equally well in single channell or dual channel as that is a function of the MOBO. Have you tried entering the bios and entering setup defaults? Also, in some cases adding/removing RAM requires a reset of the CMOS. That may help.

Yes, when I updated the bios to 1006 beta I reset the CMOS. Neither action seemed to make any difference - still only 1 stick lights up.

 

Both sticks work individually, but when put in together, only 1 lights up.

 

Both sticks worked together previously, but I was having problems with infinite loop crashes with bios 1001 and my 9800 pro 256 vid card, so I updated to 1005 and now only 1 stick is recognized. Not sure where the problem is now - memory, mobo, processor?

 

Any ideas?
