KHX3200AK2/1GR Kingston HyperX pc3200 ram, dual channel kit 2x512mb
MSI Neo2 board with 1.4 bios
0441RPBW 3500+ winchester -- running stock atm
Of course when first building new system I stuck both modules into dimms 1&2 for dual channel. Didn't work, dlink LED says bad memory or user installed error. I pull out the second stick and it then posts fine with 1 stick in dimm1. Install windows, etc and come back to the dual channel problem. Tried runnings sticks in: dimm1&2, dimm3&4, dimm1&3 none worked, all had same error as before and no post.
So I make note of which stick is which, we will say stick A is the one system booted fine with to begin with in dimm1....I tried taking it out and putting stick B in the same exact dimm1, and I got memory error. Tried running stick B in dimm3 and memory error.
I pump up voltage to 2.6 (what the memory says it runs at), still no post. Bump to 2.7, still no post. Ram settings were all on auto, 2T to begin with so I try the listed spec from kingston (2-3-2-6) no post. I can get stick A to run fine at [auto] everything & 1T, or 2.5-3-3-8 (which I got from everest). But stick B continually fails to post.
Ok....I figure DOA stick, so I try one last test by putting stick B in a Dell we have and it boots up just fine (333mhz limited by chipset). Running memtest on it right now. I tried running memtest86+ on the winchester machine but it doesnt work, lack or cpu support?
Cliff notes: 1 stick works fine with system, 2nd stick wont post even in same dimm the 1st would post in. But 2nd stick is running fine by itself in a Dell now so not DOA! What to do?
