kariyann Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi everybody, I just bought a brand new configuration, but when I tried started it for the first time, my screen not boot (light stay orange). So I identified the trouble, it seems to be caused by my Corsair DDR2 TWIN 4096 6400 C4DHX. Indeed I tried an old DDR2 (1024 667 MHz) and my system boot correctly. My Corsair DDR2 is listed as compatible with my Motherboard MSI K9N Neo V2. What can I do ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Insert the single stick of old DDR2 and enter the BIOS. Load setup defaults, save setup defaults and enter these values:Download Memtest86+ V2.01 from--->Here Download CPU-z from--->Here .Advanced BIOS Features Cell Menu DOT Control = Disabled AMD Cool & Quiet = Enabled HT Ratio = Auto Adjust Extra CPU Voltage = Disabled Adjust CPU FSB Frequency = 200 CPU Dynamic Overclocking = Disabled Adjust CPU Ratio = Auto Memclock Mode = Manual Memclock Value = 800Mhz Adjust DDR Voltage = 2.1v Memory Configuration MCT Timing Mode = Manual CAS#Latency (TCL) = 4 tRAS = 12 tRP = 4 tRCD = 4 tRRD = Auto tRC = Auto 1T/2T Memory Timing = 2T CPU Voltage = Auto Memory Voltage = 2.1v NB Voltage = 1.40v SB Voltage = Auto FSB VTT Voltage = AutoAfter setting to these values, save them and shut down. Insert a single stick of the 6400 into the first slot (Closest to the CPU) and restart. Boot to the Memtest ISO. Allow for two full passes and if stable, shut the system down. Remove the stick of DRAM and insert the second stick into the third slot. Restart and Memtest. Finally, shut the system down and insert a stick in slot one and slot three. Restart and run memtest. If you pass, enter Windows and post a screenshot of CPU-z's CPU, Memory and SPD tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kariyann Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi DerekT thanks for your reply, but I haven't as much option in my bios as you have (like NB Voltage,SB Voltage and FSB VTT Voltage). It seems that you probably have an Asus motherboard, while I've a MSI. That's probably because I don't have all your memory setup option. I've tried all values you give without success.:(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post the actual settings for your CPU and memory after you press Ctrl + F1 and I will customize them for you. Do you have two or four modules?

DerekT Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Download Memtest86+ V2.01 from--->Hereand extract the ISO image. Burn the ISO image to an CD-ROM disk. Download CPU-z from Here .Enter your BIOS. On the main BIOS screen press Ctrl + F1. You will see the screen flicker. Next select the MB Intelligent Tweaker option. On that screen you will see many additional settings that were not there before. Load setup defaults, save setup defaults and set these values:Advanced Bios Features Boot Sector Protection : Disabled Full Screen LOGO Display : Disabled Quick Booting: Enabled IOAPIC : Enabled MPS Table Version : 1.4 Chipset Feature HPET : Disabled Frequency/Voltage Control Current CPU Frequency : 3132 MHz Current DRAM Frequency : 800 MHz AMD Cool'n'Quiet : Disabled Adjust CPU FSB Frequency : 200.9 Adjust CPU Ratio : Auto Advance DRAM Configuration MCT Timing : Manual CAS#Latency (tCL) = 4 Min RAS#ActiveTime (tRAS) = 12 RAS# Percharge Time (tRP) = 4 RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD) = 4 Row to Row (tRRD) = Auto Row Cycle Time = Auto 1T/2T Memory Timing = 2T FSB memory Ratio = Auto HT Configuration MCP65 to AM2 FreqAuto : Enabled Adjust PCI-E Frequency : 100 Auto Disable DIMM/PCI Frequency : Disabled CPU Voltage : Auto Memory Voltage : 2.1v) Spread Spectrum : EnabledRun Memtest for two full passes. When assured of stable DRAM, then enter Windows and Run CPU-z and post screenshots of CPU-z's CPU, Memory and SPD tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padaang Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi DerekT, I've got the same problem. Before, 2x1GB DDR2 6400 C4DHX sticked on slot 1 and slot 2. Now I have new 2x1GB DDR2 6400 C4DHX to make it 4GB on my MSI K9A2 Platinum Mainboard. Before I applied your BIOS config (previous memory voltage is 1.8V) My computer can't booting with new memory sticked in slot 3 and slot 4. After I changed voltage to 2.1V, slots 3 detected and no error in memtest. But, if I sticks one piece more memory on to slot 4, it turns to black screen again. I've tried your Advance DRAM Configuration settings but in my BIOS there's no 4 clocks other than CAS Latency, tRP minimum config available is 5 clocks and so tRCD, tRas minimun is 15 (12 is not available). I check on CPU Z my current DRAM Frequency is 400MHz, whereas I've changed to 800MHz on my BIOS. What can I do to make it 4GB run? Thanks before DerekT!

Synthohol Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 WOW! holy zombie thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 8, 2013 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 8, 2013 LOL I know what you mean Synthohol padaang You are running at DDR800 CPU-Z reports Actual Clock frequency not the DDR frequency. So 400 Mhz x 2 (because its double data rate) = DDR800! However, if you install more than 2 double rank modules you may be limited to DDR667 333Mhz.

padaang Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 So what's solution to make 4GB happen on my PC Thanks bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
