G.Skill mem help please!

Hi

I bought 2gig of the Gskill that's on the deal of the week right now to fit into my AM2/Sempron (ahem) based system. Anyways, Before I replaced my existing ram, I set all of the memory timings etc to 'Auto' in the bios (not an expert, thought this was just the safest way).

Anyway, popped the memory in, and the system wouldn't boot. No beep codes, nothing, just the fans whirring away. I've tried it with either stick on it's own and tried different slots, still nothing. I updated the bios from the Sapphire website (mobo is the Pure Element matx thing) still nothing, but when I put the original memory (ocz 5400 value) it works fine. I assume it's not the psu as I'm running with an Antec NSK4400 and the 380w one that comes with it. Surely this should cope with a sempron, DVDRW, onboard gfx and one stick of ram?

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas? Cheers.

If you set the bios to it's defaults it gives 1.8v. Tried this up to 2.0v but still the same.. No, don't really know anyone who has a system that utilises DDR2 unfortunately.

These?

Only in the description it says:

G.Skill, the well known extreme performance provider, today announces the new naming rule. It helps the users can distinguish the product specification through the new model name. G.Skill also launches the new DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 memory, F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ, with the new naming rule. No matter you are using Intel or AMD latest DDR2 platform, GSkill F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ all can support.

So shouldn't be a problem?

Yeah cheers will give it a go. It just seems really bizarre to me.

Tried all of that but nothing doing. I'vr tried both sticks seperately with the same result. Both can't be borked can they? Like I say, I have a 512mb stick of 5400 OCZ stuff working fine which is odd.

Anyone have any more ideas before I have to send it back and get laughed at for making a schoolboy error when it turns out to be fine?
