Hello Everyone
Some idea of my system spec:-
* OCZ part number:-Reaper X
* Module size and kit size:-2x 4GB Kit (4x 2GB sticks 8GB total)
* CPU model and rated speed:-AMD Phenom X4 Black Edi.
* Motherboard and revision:-Asus Crosshair II Formula
* Motherboard Bios rev:-1003
* Video card:-2x GeForce 9800GT XXX
* Power supply:-900w
* Operating System:-Windows Vista 64-bit Ult
* Memory voltage:-2.1v
I am new to this forum and hope to god someone can help me, I was up until 2AM this morning trying to fix my new rig
Let me explain the issue and what I have done so far:-
I have an Asus Crosshair II Formula mobo, 8GB of OCZ 1066MHz Reaper X RAM, AMD Phenom X4 Black Edition and Windows Vista 64bit
When I first built the machine and switch on for the first time (with all 8 GB RAM in) I got a DRAM error on the LCD display of the Mobo and nothing shown on the screen.
I removed 2 of the sticks of RAM so down to 4GB and it booted, I installed Windows Vista 64Bit Ultimate and all worked well.
I now want to be able to use my other 2 sticks of RAM.
I have put the other 2 sticks back in and again I cant even boot to BIOS. After reading some forum posts I lowered my RAM down to on DDR2 800MHz and turned off Ganged mode??
This allows me to boot to BIOS perfectly and recognizes all 8GB in BIOS.
Now when I go through the BIOS and try to get into Windows, I immediately get rebooted, and this just keeps going in a circle.
I have tried to reinstall the OS but after I get past the intial black install screen I immediately get a BSOD telling me its stopped my computer to save it blah blah blah.
So, I cannot get into Windows, I cannot reinstall Windows.
I desperately want to use all 8GB..
Any ideas?
PS I have also updated to the latest BIOS on the Mobo....
I tried changing the voltage to 2.1 manually in the BIOS and it just stalled on BIOS boot.
I am using slots 1,3 and 2,4 for pairing
Windows works fine with 4GB 2 sticks in 1,3
Anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance
