Hi,
Has anyone had any trouble running 4x512 PC4000 redline sticks of ram with on a DFI NF4 SLI-DR mobo? Running 2 sticks has never been a problem. Since running 4 sticks my pc is fine, totally rock solid from cold. If I have been using my pc, say for 30min and everything has 'warmed up' and I turn off my pc, if I try to power my pc back up it will not even get to the post screen and just keeps beeping at me.
1. I have just changed my cpu to a X2 4400 so I know it's nothing to do with a cpu.
2. I have loaded loads of different bios's and still get the same problem.
3. My case is never hot inside (sit's on average 30c)
4. I have a 120mm fan directly over the ram (for active cooling)
5. I get this problem running even at stock speeds, and the lowest amount of voltage required for the ram (3.2v I believe). So it's not an overclocking problem.
It definately seems to be a heat problem as it always starts up from cold no problems with 4x sticks. If it starts beeping at me and I leave it for a couple of hours or so it will boot again - OR if I take out 2 sticks of ram and it will boot up.
Could it be something to do with the northbridged perhaps?
Anyone got any ideas. I have had this problem for a little while now and have gotten used to it (basically I never turn off my pc, unless I know im not going to use it for a while) but I know I should not have to live this problem.
:confused:
