Hi folks, this could well be posted up in the memory/storage section, but I wanted you lot to really see it :)
I have a really, really annoying problem with my current setup:
Epox 4G4A+ i845G Motherboard
Intel P4 2.2 Northwood
Leadtek Ti4600 Graphics
SB Audigy
2x Corsair 512MB XMS3200 Cas 2 Platinum rev 1.1 Series Dimms, both supplied by Overclockers.co.uk.
Now here is the problem. The board will not work with both dimms in whatsoever. either 1 on it's own is 100% perfect. Put both in, either bleeps, or a boot up and full count of 1 gig of ram then freezing on the post boot info display with just a flashing cursor, or boots with black text on a white screen and the same no boot result.
It doesn't matter what slots you use, be it 1 and 2, which support running 512, double sided sticks, 1 and 3 or 3 and 2. No workee:(
I have tried upping the default voltage on the dimms to 2.6 then 2.7, but no difference.
Now this is running at both DDR354 and DDR266 speeds :(
I built a machine for my housemate with exactly the same mobo, but with a Gainward gf4 Ti4200 and a Live! 5.1 card. Exactly the same results on his machine too..........
I spoke to the guy's at Overclockers, but no one seemed even slightly interested tbh.
I am soooo peeved that I have 1/2 a gig of ram lying around that I want to use, should be able to use, but can't and cost a bomb!!!
Does anyone on here know of issues with thie RAM and i845 boards?
Originally, I had 2 512mb sticks of Samsung DTL DDR333 in her and there were no problems whatsoever, I just wanted the best ram :(
Cheers,
Nick :)
