worx54 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hello everyone, I am using a GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD4P LGA 1366 Motherboard and CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) TR3X6G1600C8D RAM. http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/8541/0163v.jpg I can only boot my system with 1 stick in ddr3 slot 1 of my motherboard. When I try to add another stick in slot 3 or slot 5, the system won't POST and the LED lights on my motherboard turn red. Right when I turn it on, the CPU fan would spin for a few seconds then the system would shut itself off and turn back on in a few seconds. I tried swapping out the ram sticks with all 3 sticks in slot 1 and it worked. So I'm guessing it's the motherboard or the BIOS settings. I tried messing around with the default bios settings for RAM frequencies but it still would not boot with more than 1 stick of ram. Any help would be appreciated...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 28, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 28, 2010 Have you tried reseating the CPU or checking for any bent pins in the CPU socket? Also you may want to try loosening the CPU cooler if it is aftermarket or test the board outside of the case if the issue continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
