WadeWood Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Ok, so here's my problem / question. I just upgraded ( or so I thought ) my AMD 6000 x 2, Gigabyte MB M55SLI-S4, GS 7600, 500 w power supply from 2 GB of memory to 8 GB. This computer has 3 fans, Liquid cooled CPU, 2 DVD's a 12 in 1 card reader and one 250 gb hard drive. I put the new memory in and the monitor will not turn on with all 4 chips in it, if I remove 2 of them, dropping it to 4 GB the system boots fine in any configuration and switching with all the new XMS. So my question is, do I need more wattage to run the 8GB of XMS2 DHX DDR2 or am I missing something? Any Help Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 It's unlikely the PSU is the problem as each DIMM only draws about 5 watts. You may need to update your mobo BIOS. It's also worth checking with Gigabyte to be sure there are no issues with this specific mobo/RAM combo as some mobos are RAM sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
