bgowandon Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 hey guys, first ever post, was wondering if someone could offer me some suggestions. i have recently upgraded my system from a 4600+ x2, to the 6400 black edition. im running an asus crosshair mb, 2gb of matched corsair cm2x 1024-6400 , an 8800gt, and a soundblater x-fi. upon installing the new processor, i started the new system.. only for it to hang before it even reached the boot screen. after a little examination i realised the system would boot no problem with just one 1gb ram stick, int he second blue dimm slot, but i added the second 1gb stick, or moved them to the white dimm slots, the system would fail to boot. ive updated the bios to version 8.04, but that doesnt seem to make a difference. ive tried setting the ram timings manually, setting voltage manually, clearing cmos and trying this.. removing the cmos battery and replacing it etc etc any help would be greatly appreciated!

bgowandon Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 mm ive checked, apparently the latest bios is for phenom chips only... tho i have run that bios and encountered the same problem any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 18, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 18, 2007 I would contact the MB maker and see what they say especially if both modules will run and pass one up with http://www.memtest.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgowandon Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 I would contact the MB maker and see what they say especially if both modules will run and pass one up with http://www.memtest.org. asus have emailed me suggesting i manually set the ram timings and voltage with one stick... then once ive done that, restart withthe 2nd. but that doesnt work have u eevr come across a similar problem before?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 18, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yes its either MB or the CPU if both modules run and pass http://www.memtest.org one up. Have you tried putting the modules in the other two slots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgowandon Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 yes i have tried fitting the two ram sticks into the white dimm slots.. but when two sticks are installed the system doesnot even get to the post screen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 19, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 19, 2007 MB or CPU would be the most likely cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
