Ok to begin with... I have one GIG of Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200C2 XPERT TwinX (2x1GB)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Corsair_XMS_310.html

And today i bought Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2

i have spent hours trying to get these lot to work!
i have put them all in in any combination i can, no post. i tried in 1t - 2t, diff voltages etc. all the ram works in a pair or in single but not all together as 1t or 2t in single or dual. Any ideas?
Any other crap i need to be doing in bios? IE set the timings? if so pleaseeee help! I have a DFI Expert SLI on stock BIOS.

Also, i got the new sound card in! how the hell do you get the DFI on board dirt burger one back out!!! ?? !! ??!!
 
I think those karajan audio modules you have to take off the back plate, IE unscrew the whole damn mobo off the chassis.

pain in the ass.
 
the sound card i just left it in and disable it. but the ram is still the same! i have tried everythin i can think of!

i have tried all the 2gb pairs of OCZ, Corsair and cheap os! the only stuff that will work is Geil Value 2gb kit.

Any one have a DFI Expert and the same ram?
 
done everytin, reset bios, flash it and uese a diff one.

I have tried it all now! only stuff that will work is Geil cheap and nasty kits. tried the FULLLL range of OCZ and Mushkin with my ram today and had no joy. set all the timings etc! nothing! i am uber peed off now! i need to make the decison of EYE CANDY BEST EVER TIMING 1gb or get rid and get 2 OR 4 gig of the SAME stuff (got legit vista, MSDN) or do i try get some more of the same! lol. i need serious help here. I want more ram i need more ram but how i got about it?


WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
 
Not use a DFI, but that's not helping you.

MEthinks you're not gonna be playing nice with those sticks, as you seem to have covered what I would do.

Only thing let is to slacken off the timings. If that works, the tighten them progressively until it crap's itself, then slacken it off a touch.

Better yet,
Sell (or RMA) em, and get a reccomendation on what's compatible, but that.

i've an expert, ocz 4000eb 2gig, now 1 stick would work but not 2, when i memtest each stick, no errors, what i did was
put 1 stick in orange slot,(far left of cpu) ,bootup,load optimised defaults.
change drive strength to 8, data strength 1, saved and booted, then re-boot with 2nd stick, all is fine after that.
 
I have a dfi expert since xmas and ran 2gb corsair 3200c2 on it fine with original bios and all the ones after that. Now running 2gb corsair 3500ll on it fine as well. Obviously update bios to latest as that has the most memory support and also try the other slots but sounds like you have already done that - have you tested the memory in another system to make sure its not faulty - can still be faulty if it runs ok on its own and then show errors in dual channel.

Also to remove audio module remove board and squeeze together the 2 plastic pin heads and then it will lift out - it tells you how to in the manual as well
