jollyrubber Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I built a new system with the following specs: Asus Striker Extreme (already has latest bios 1305)Two Sets of TWIN2X2048-6400C4DHXXFX GeForce 8600 GTThermalTake 750W PSU I hook it all up and I get the dreaded "CPU INIT" message on the POST LCD on the mobo. I look around the forums pull a couple of tricks like clearing CMOS and booting with only one stick in the 4th slot. After all is said and done, I managed to get it to POST with two sticks of the RAM with the following settings: FSB: 800Mhz (unlinked, CPU is 1300Mhz)Voltage: 2.1vtCL/tRCD/tRP: 4tRAS: 12CMD: 2TtRC: 24tRFC: 42 So I think everything is set so I put in the second set and I get the "CPU INIT" again. I pull them out it boots. It seems like I have a good set, and a bad set. I put in the supposedly bad set in all by itself and it does not boot. So is it a bad set of RAM I got, or am I missing something :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Lets test that bad set to be sure. Try each module in that set by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyrubber Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi! Thanks for the quick reply. I took out the "good set" and put in the other set one stick at a time (in the 4th slot). Only one of the sticks would not boot (CPU INIT message). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I would look into RMA'ing the bad set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
