RAM problem occured

[rossrox]

ok basically, a year ago i made a gaming rig and i bought some corsair dominator 2X2GB DDR2 1066MHz PC2-8500 C5 and one of the sticks was broken when i got it so ran my computer on one stick for a while (actually a year) i have just got it replaced and plugged both sticks into my MB and turn on and BEEEEEEEEP... BEEEEEEEP... and so on... i take one ram stick out and it runs fine, not too sure what to do as i dont like fiddling with things in BIOS, my specs are here, please tell me what you think i can do, Thankyou in advance :)

The problem could be many things. You may need to update your mobo BIOS - to start with as this corrects many memory/boot/mobo compatibility issues. It's highly unlikely that the new RAM has issues but you could run Memtest 86+ on one DIMM at a time to be sure.

If you are trying to run the memory at 1066 on a 780i board you will need to set the memory voltage manually to the spec on the modules. AUTO or stock settings will not work. Also, you may need to raise your memory controller voltage 1-3 steps above the stock setting to compensate for the OCed memory frequency.
