choon Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hi, I have an issue with my system that i just purchase. same spec, 6gb corsair dominator and evga x58, but my system wont even boot up with 3 stick installed. when i leave 1 stick on slot 5, it manage to boot up. Ive run through different bios setting, tested all the memory. the most i got it going was 2 stick of memory on slot 1 and 3. some times after the bios setting, the system wont even boot up. I seriously need some help. im kinda noobish at this bios thing, never had to deal with it on previously build system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, please check our main Core i7 X58 MOBO thread later this week when we post the EVGA X58 settings as I think this will be your best starting point.

DerekT Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Set your modules to the second, fourth and sixth slots, not the fist, third and fifth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekT Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Did you document the serial number of the motherboard? Sounds like you got the same board back. Where did you send the board? Manufacturer or distributor? well, i just got my board back, same thing, try using 1,3,5 and then 2,4,6, both set up wont boot up my motherboard, it will only boot up with 1 stick on dimm 1, so any advice guy, im getting really frustrated at this point :[pouts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choon Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 didnt record the serial down, and its a distributor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 In the future, I advise you to document any return as mistakes can and are made with some resultant returns being the original hardware. Can you test the memory in another computer? For the results you speak of to be repeating on a different board is strange because that is not a common issue by any means. It might well mean that you have a CPU issue. I would document the serials on all the parts (motherboard, CPU and memory) and RMA the lot. You have already spent far too much time with this issue and I am sorry to see this happening to you. :[pouts: didnt record the serial down, and its a distributor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choon Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 well my last resort at this point is to RMA the processor, since it couldnt be the motherboard as it was replace, tested every single memory individual and it work, so lets see what happen 2 weekds from now, arghhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 13, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 13, 2009 Did you try the latest BIOS? And what were the settings you had set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choon Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 didnt really try out changing the setting, but the default voltage at 1.5, cause previous the system just crash when the voltage was set to 1.65 and try to save the setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
