Pulck Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I've just put together a system with the ASRock Conroe 945G-DVI and 2x1024 XMS2 5400C4 sticks and I can't even get a POST, just a single short beep and a blank screen. Are there know issues with this mobo/RAM combination? I heard on another forum that this board requires RAM rated at 1.8V. Could that be an issue?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 28, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 28, 2006 Unfortunately, we have no tested this motherboard. I believe the default is 1.8v. See if you can boot with one stick. Then adjust the DDR Voltage to 1.9v. If you are unable to boot with either sticks, I would recommend the VS2GBKIT667D2.

Pulck Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Thanks, Ram Guy. I'd actually already tried with just one stick and it didn't make any difference. But now things are getting stranger... I tried powering up with a Ubuntu boot disc in the CD drive and, low and behold, the thing boots up. However, I still get no POST screen. The first time I see any picture on the monitor is when the disc is fully booted up. Does this mean it is definitely not a RAM issue now? Or is it still possible RAM compatibility is causing my problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 29, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 29, 2006 That is strange, you should be able to post bios regardless. I still recommend the Value Select 667MHZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
