peanutz94 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thats what I fugured! The issue lies in the modules construction and your MB's chipset. The P45 chipset can use memory modules made with no larger than 256MB IC's. And the modules you have are made with 512MB IC's making them too dense for the BIOS to see. So that is why neither module will successfully POST on that machine. So basically they are incompatible. As of now most if not all of Corsairs memory is made with the larger chips now. So unless you can find older stock somewhere it might be hard to find memory for that system. Sorry, I wish I had better news for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
