nte Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi, I can't get my system to post with my QUAD2X4096-8500C5DF Ram. I have tried changing many bios settings and still can't get the system to post . I have tried this ram on my Asus P5Q SE and my Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 and can't get either system to post. When I put generic kingston ram in my Asus P5Q SE it boots without a problem. I have tried the ram in different slots, by them self, in pairs, in pairs with different channels, etc. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 14, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 14, 2009 I doubt that this set of modules will run in that MB as they require 2.1-2.2 Volts but they should post with only one module installed, do you have the latest MB BIOS version installed?

nte Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 I do have the latest bios installed, I did try running 2.1v,2.2v with a single stick I also tried setting it to DDR2-800mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Download Memtest Version 2.11from--->Here and extract the ISO image. Burn the ISO image to an CD-ROM disk. Download CPU-z from Here Insert a single stick in the first slot (Closest to the CPU) and enter your BIOS, set to these values: AI Overclock Tweaker Ai Overclock Tuner = Manual CPU Ratio Setting: 9 FSB Frequency = 266 PCIE Frequency = 100 FSB Stap to Northbridge = 266 Mhz DRAM Frequency = 1066Mhz DRAM Timing Control = Manual CAS Latency = 5 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay = 5 DRAM RAS# Precharge = 5 DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge = 15 RAS# to RAS# Delay = Auto Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC) = Auto Write Recovery Time = Auto Read to Precharge Time = Auto Command Rate = 2N(T) All other to Auto DRAM Static Read Control = Auto DRAM Read Training = Disabled Mem. OC Charger = Auto AI Clock Twister = Auto AI Transaction Booster = Auto CPU Voltage = Auto CPU PLL Voltage = Auto FSB Termination Voltage = Auto DRAM Voltage = 2.1v NB Voltage = 1.25v SB Voltage = Auto PCI-E SATA Voltage = Auto Loadline Calibration = Auto CPU Spread Spectrum = Disabled PCIE Spread Spectrum = Disabled Clock Over-Charging Voltage = Auto CPU GTL Volage Reference = Auto NB GTL Voltage Reference = Auto Legacy USB = Disabled for Memtest, Enabled afterward.Shut the system down. Boot to the Memtest CD with that single stick and allow for two full passes. Shut the system down. Remove the first stick and insert it in slot three. Repeat Memtest. Shut the system down. Remove the first stick and insert the second stick in slot one. Repeat Memtest. You have now tested both sticks in single channel mode. Now test for the Dual Channel Mode function of the memory controller. Insert a stick in slot one and three and Memtest. If Stable enter Windows and post screenshots of CPU-z's CPU, Memory and SPD tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nte Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks, I will try this as soon as I get a chance. The only way for me to make changes to the bios is to use a stick of generic ram. With the corsair modules my screen stays black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
