valleydesi Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Problem: System will not post with 2 sticks in the proper slots Tried Solutions: I read thru a lot of posts on these forums and tried out the various settings suggested here. My current voltage and timings are Dim Voltage to +2.7 Volts: CAS Latency CL=2.0 Row Cycle Time tRC Bios Default Row Refresh Cyc Time tRFC Bios Default Ras# to CAS# delay tRCD 3 Row to Row delay Bios Default Min Ras# Active Time tRAS 6 Row Precharge Time tRP 2 Write Recovery Time Bios Default Write to Read delay Bios Default Read to Write Delay Bios Default Refresh Period tREF Bios Default Enable 2T Timing Enabled Ran Memtest86 v3.2 on both sticks individually. Niether have reported any issues. Interchanged both sticks in slot 3, the system boots and remains stable. Looking for some ideas here as to why the system will not post. My other specs are CPU: Athlon 3500+ Radeon 7200 (I know this is old but I am not in a mood to throw this one away yet and I am not much into gaming. Maybe at next upgrade) WD 160Gb SATA Quantum 60Gb IDE Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Unfortunately you have the wrong type of memory for your MOBO. The A8V cannot run registered memory. For that MOBO I would suggest the PC3200XL TwinX 1024mb kit. If you want to try for high OCing, try the PC4400C2.5 . Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
