Drkwhitey Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 HI. I have an Asus A8N-SLI mo/bo and I am trying to expand it to it's full potential of 4GB of RAM. Recently I have noticed this is not as easy as with my older Abit mo/bo!!! I purchased a Corsair VS2GBKIT400C3 kit and installed it into slots A1 and B1. It works perfectly. Then I bought another kit of the same thing. Put that into slots A2 and B2 and I get nothing. It will not even get to the bios boot screen. When I take the memory out and install the second set in place of the first, by itself, it works. Please help me, I miss the days of just being able to buy the RAM you need and being able to just push it in. I've been at this for a few hours now and my eyes are going cross-eyed trying to find a solution to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Lata!

Unfortunately, you have run into the realities of modern-day PCs. You'll never know what you'll get if you fill more than two memory slots on recent motherboards: You might get a refusal to even POST with four identical sticks of memory, or you might be forced to run memory at a much, much slower speed in order to run stably.

Drkwhitey Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'm basically looking for a simple solution (if there is one). If there isn't, I guess I'll have to be content with 2 gigs of RAM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 13, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 13, 2007 You can run 4 gig with that MB just with more than two you need to run the memory at DDR333. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
