regan_murphy Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi Have just received a the following components: Gigabyte K8VM800M (rev 2.0) AMD Sempron 2800 Skt754 CPU 1 x Corsair VS512MB400 I've put them all together and can't get the machine to POST. I have tried clearing the CMOS to no avail. I'm using the onboard video for this unit. Manual suggests to use either 1 x double-sided ddr400 or 2 x single-sided ddr400 units. I have 1 x VS512MB400 - is that single or double sided and is it compatible. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 26, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 26, 2006 All of our DDR1 modules that are 512 Meg in density or larger are double sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regan_murphy Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 OK. Took the bits into a computer store and the tech said that the power supply i have isnt powerful enough to drive it all... it was a 300W one but maybe too old... All is working fine now.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 26, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 26, 2006 I would agree with them a 450 watt would be suggested for the MB you had especially if you have a 6800 or faster Video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha13 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I have the exactly same motherboard and just got TWINX2048-C2PT where corsair compatibility web site told me I can use for my motherboard. But does it mean that my computer will not work if I have two 1gig of these installed?? Does it mean compatobility web site lied to me when it said it supports TWINX2048-C2PT?? Update: I have just inserted the two memory sticks, and they are not working (motherboard is not POSTING I guess, its just making noise). I tried a single stick in either slot and get the same results. When I put my older 2 Corsair 512 meg sticks in, it works fine. What is going on? Oh, and I have the following: 520 Watt Power Gigabyte K8VM800M (rev 2.0) 3400+ 64 AMD XF7800 GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 7, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 7, 2006 Please try and reset your bios with just the new modules installed and see if it will post. And you cannot mix the new modules with your old ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
