midget Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi, I've just recieved a value select pack of 2x512mb pc3200 ram. After putting it in my motherboard, nothing happens. If I take one stick out, the system boots. If I change to the other stick, it doesn't boot (i.e 1 stick works, the other doesn't). I'm not sure if this has anything to do with clock speeds. I'm currently only on an XP 2000+, that uses/needs pc2100 ram. I bought pc3200 because I plan to upgrade soon. However, would the clock differences explain why 1 stick works and the other doesn't ? My bios settings are given in this picture: http://work.evoke-gaming.co.uk/bios.jpg Any help is appreciated. If the ram is faulty, I'd like an RMA ticket please :p: Kind regards, Tim Edit: Ram part number = VS512MB400C3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Why is it set to 130 Mhz though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midget Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Why is it set to 130 Mhz though? I just thought about this. I went away, and set the bios clock speed to 133 (as it should be for a 266mhz fsb cpu). The machine now boots with both new ram modules. I've run a full memtest86 on both modules, and no errors occured. So I don't need to do the RMA! And I have 1GB ram! :D: :D: :D: So RAM GUY, if you need to cancel a particular RMA request... its #R74795 Thanks for the help!!! weeeee! :eek: Cheers, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
