drneves7 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hello all! I am having some issues with my ram. I have a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P, with an E8400 CPU. I was previously running TWIN2X4096-6400C5, I think that is it lol. This ram was to unstable for me to clock past 3.6ghz, so I decided to pick up some CM2X2048-8500C5. The new 8500 memory will not boot with both sticks in. I have changed the dramV and nb settings. Tried a bunch of different multipliers, and fsb on the cpu. I can get it to boot on one but that is it. After I post this I am going to run Memtest on both sticks. I have a read a bunch of other posts related to this. -I have reset my bios to default. -Bios is newest version. -Pulled battery to fully clear it all -Loosened up timings to no avail -Bumped NB voltage up to 1.3 -Tried with everything in auto -Tried just setting memory to stock settings -Tried all settings of X.M.P. -I am sure I forgot a few things on here. Thanks ahead of time for any thoughts or solutions. If you suggest tests I will run them......I am not asking for help to just tell you I don't think this is the problem :laughing: Thanks :bigeyes: UPDATE! So I have found my problem....it is a dead stick!:[pouts: Can boot with one but not the other. And I can't boot with both on the motherboard in any configuration. Just keeps rebooting over and over again. So no need to test the memory my system already told me the answer. I would be interested in getting this other memory to handle the 4.0ghz overclock that my CPU can more than handle. But it is unstable after 2.0x425 and I wouldn't quite say that is stable neither. I may be able to get it stable with some tweaking of the settings. I will mess with that for tonight......and exchange the other memory tomorrow. Hope I have better luck with the second set.

The one stick I cannot test as I cannot get the system to even bring up bios :( looks like I was updating my thread as you were posting. I appriciate the fast response.
