Maximus Formula GSkill 8500 Won't Post With 2 RAM Sticks

[CERO]

what strap and fsb you are using, and did u enable TB/ or dram static, because these settings plays a big role and those 2x2 seems to be more responsive with TRD lvls, but it sounds like u have a divider issue which I had also experienced or like Leefhoofd suspecting u didnt pumped enough NB volts in it. Please post your bios settings so we can help u much easier

Hi mc2k,

Thanks for the reply. Please find my bios settings below.

I'm at 266 FSB (not overclocked yet) with a Q6600 (eventually I will be at 400 FSB or just above because that's what it ran at in my last motherboard).

Transaction Booster and DRAM Static are both at AUTO. I'm not technical enough to understand what you meant by "TRD lvls" and whether I'd want high or low numbers for those.

Thanks.

Hi again,

I posted my bios settings above in a previous post as you requested. I have tried with Transaction Booster = Disabled and Relax Level = 0 (and 2) and DRAM Static = Disabled and Northbridge Voltage = 1.65v. But still no success.

Thanks for your help to date.
