protypex Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I just bought (2) 512MB sticks of Corsair XMS DDR400 from newegg.com. I'm trying to install the memory into my computer and it wont boot up. It'll try to boot, then I get 1 long beep and 4 short beeps, and then it shuts down immediately after that. I have an Abit AG8 motherboard which supports DDR400 up to 1GB per slot. The manual said when installing two similar memory modules to use DIMMS 1&3 or DIMMS 2&4 on the motherboard. I tried both configurations and both do not work. I already tried clearing CMOS and that didn't work either. It won't even boot up long enough for me to get into the BIOS. Also, the RAM I used to have in there was a Corsair Value Select 512MB DDR400 stick. If anyone can help me or if you can at least tell me what the POST beeps mean it would help me a great deal. I really don't want to return this awesome memory but I will if that is the problem. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 23, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 23, 2005 Please try and reset the bios with just one module installed and see if it will let you into the bios and I would set the memory voltage to 2.8 Volts and then test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org.
