Another Q about dead ram?

Oh also, just reading through what you put again, did you mean that it doesn't post at all with having 1,2,3 or even 4 sticks in the board?

Becuase mine only didn't post with all 4 in the board, which was blatently down to my motherboard as it worked switching all the sticks around, but just didnt like 4 in total. However I somehow fixed it - wish I could remember how lol
 
haha well it sure as hell isn't the RAM in that case, very odd. Like I said only thing you can do is email Asrock and ask them what is going wrong. Only thing I can think of is a BIOS update and to find the correct configuration for the RAM, which Asrock may be able to provide you, it's worth a try mate :)
 
I just noticed on your motherboard manual..

Flexibility Option
The default value of this option is [Disabled]. It will allow better tolerance for
memory compatibility when it is set to [Enabled].

Try setting it to Enabled, as that is supposed to allow for better compatibility :)

Impossible to say as I have no idea what the 'high' setting equivocates to.

The voltage itself shouldn't stop the RAM from booting, the Auto frequency usually sets the RAM to either 1.9 or 2.1, either of which are enough to boot the RAM, however sometimes may results in stability issues. But it shouldn't prevent the RAM from booting at all.
 
Hi there tried changing the option to allow more compatibility. Still the same problem.

I think im gonna cut my loses before i do any damage lol and flog it on :)

Thanks anyway tho mate for ya help :)
 
Fair enough mate, sorry about that, computers can be a right **** at times lol.

Lets just hope you don't have the same problem again :)

Even if you purchase new memory I would advise contacting Asrock first to make sure it is compatible before buying.

It has to be something to do with the motherboard though that's obvious, it's either a configuration within the BIOS itself. A BIOS update is required, or the motherboard doesn't like something about the memory. However after reading that other thread about the memory being tested in the board and having no problems the mind boggles. I can only think that it is a configuration option. Could always contact them before you sell, or even while you wait, see if that have a solution :)

Anyway thanks for the purchase mate, was a pleasure to deal with, even if things didn't work out as planned lol :)

I'll leave feedback on your trust :)
 
Trust is working at the moment but will leave it when it works.

I changed volts to HIGH and thats apparently 1.9v still no joy :( Shame really

Thats life tho lol

High is 1.9v!? lol That seems silly considering the AVERAGE is 1.9v lol

Contact Asrock mate :)
 
have 2 sticks of 800mhz one which are D9GMH, it's degraded and doesnt post below 2.2v. yes, i was pushing it too much @_@

Do you think its volts then that are the problem???

It could be but it's impossible to tell because we don't know what the 'low', 'med' and 'high' equivilate to.

Seriously mate, contact Asrock, just email them about your problem, you could have done it in the time it's taken to post a thing on this thread, and you will more than likely get a solution :)
