spidertech Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I have been running two sticks - CMX256A-3200c2 XMS3202v4.1 0435114-15 XMS3200 256MB 400MHz CL2 and went to upgrade today to two sticks - CMX512-3200C2 XMS3202V5.2 0545096-0 XMS3200 512MB 400MHz CL2 Now when i put the new sticks in, and it doesn't matter weather i put 1 single stick in, or both togeather, and i have tried them in every possible combination of both sticks, in all the 3 ram slots, it's like it blocks the video port and the screen stays black, the monitor light doesn't even go green it stays orange like the computer is off or in standby, the monitor just relays a 'no signal' message. If i put my old sticks of ram back in the computer it works fine. I am really stuck here any help would be apreciated. Also i had a little trouble when i got the 1st XMS sticks (2 x 256mb) so i posted here and fixed it, but here is the thread from my last post, it might help, the computer is all exactly the same. http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38415 Thanx matt.

RJLeong65 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 You've almost certainly mixed different revisions and different IC chips, even if you bought the same model number of memory. The XMS3202v5.x modules do not work well with any previous version of the XMS3202 modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
