Sternn Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 my problem: I cant get both sticks to work on my new pc ..I can use either ram seperately but once I put them together I cant start windows ..I get a blackscreen telling me there's a problem with a new piece of hardware ...when I use just one stick (doesnt matter which one) it works fine. I've tried them in dual channel and in side by side configuration but I cant get it to work ...I'm stumped, what do I do? (I'm a semi pc noob but I learn fast :): ) my pc: Asus M2NPV-VM (latest bio) 2g corsair value VS1GB667D2 x 2 amd 3200 am2 socket 250 G sata 2 seagate barracuda os: windowsxp MCE sp2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorganzola Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Grab CPU-Z from here: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php Top left, just under Home is the download link. Have a look at the information that is listed for each stick of memory, what does it show? Are you manually setting the memory timings? What voltage are you using? What are the default SPD settings you get when letting the board auto detect for each stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 5, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 5, 2006 Do both modules look exactly the same? The same number of memory chips on each side of the modules for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternn Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 after following your directions and testing the ram I think the problem lies with the motherboard; one of the slots has stopped accepting either stick altogether. I'm going to rma it. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
