Flying-Squirrel Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I just got a second gig of ram and it isn't working :confused: Everything used to work fine with 1 gig of ram (2x512) but now I am trying to put in a second gig of the exact same ram so I will have 2 gigs of ram (4x512) the Corsair ValueSelect ram but all it does is beep at me. I am poor so the value ram was all I could really get :eek: I put my BIOS to default settings then also set a memory divider of 1:2 and still it doesn't work. I took the new ram back out and the computer started again so I turned it off and switched the new ram with the old ram and once again it started perfectly. So it would appear that I don't have dead sticks of ram because they work fine if I just have 2 in but when I try to put either 3 or 4 sticks in it just beeps at me. Please someone give me some tips? Thanx a bunch. Oh and I also had flashed my BIOS to the latest version a few days ago so I don't think that should be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 4, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 4, 2006 Please test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to make sure one is not failing and make sure they are both being detected at the same timings. Cas 2.5-4-4-8. If they all test fine I would make sure that you have the latest bios and then load setup defaults and set the memory voltage to 2.8 Volts and see if the system will pass http://www.memtest.org.
