Memory problem

[Apotheose]

Hi, im new to this and im seeking some help. :):

 

I just ordered 2x 1gb 533mhz of Corsair memory. Things won't work so i tested a few things to be able to give as much information as i could.

 

I put both stick in channel A and B, turn on the comp, does BEEP BEEP BEEP 3 times.

 

I remove the stick in channel B, turn on the comp, it takes quite a while to load ( like it was taking ages to detect HDD? ) about 30 sec, then it starts loading but, once its time to load windows, it stops, freeze.

 

Now i tried the stick which made my comp does BEEP x3 in channel A alone and tried to inverse both stick aswell. Does beep 3 times gain and wont load.

 

So far ive figured, when i use, let's say Stick #2, the comp does beepX3.

 

I tried stick #1 + my old Ultra 512mb stick, takes a while to start loading, and end up freezing on windows loading.

 

I ended up using my Ultra 512mb stick alone so i could open up the computer and try to get some help. :roll:

 

Memory settings in BIOS are all set to default.

 

MB: Intel D945GC cr

Memory: Corsair 2x 1gb 533mhz. part # is VS1GB533D2

 

Thanx, Bruno.

Please make sure that you have the latest bios for your MB and then load optimized defaults. Then test the modules induvidually with http://www.memtest.org

Thanx a lot RAM GUY for the quick answer.

 

I did not update my BIOS, yet.

 

I did not test my memory, yet.

 

But i did load optimal settings in my Bios, tried 1 stick, worked, triked 2 and it works also. 2GB detected and working fine.

 

I'll do the test later on, thanx again.

 

Your name says it all :D:

You are very welcome. In some cases, simply clearing the CMOS will do the trick.
