scdemandred Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hope you can help - this is the first machine I've built myself and has been plagued by false starts. I have the Asus board mentioned in the title and a P4 3.2 with HT, and 512 MB dimms of the above RAM. On attempt to boot, I get three beeps - BIOS code for Main Memory read/write test error. I've swapped the DIMMs out of all four sockets, same error. Is this a compatibility issue? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 5, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 5, 2004 What is the exact module part# that you have? If there is an "R" or "RE" in the part#, like CMX512R-3200; this will not run in this MB. You would need un-buffered memory with this MB! If so please ask your reseller to exchange them for either Twinx1024-3200 -3200C2 or 3200LL with no "R" or "RE" in the part#! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scdemandred Posted April 5, 2004 Author Share Posted April 5, 2004 The "R" was indeed the problem. the box booted no problem after I installed a new stick of unbuffered RAM. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
