Memory problem

kasperas@eircom · 22 Dec 2006 at 20:42

Hi lads

Got my Gigabyte ds3 with BIOS F8+E6300+2GB Corsair Dominator 6400C4D.
1st memory module works in all slots. 2nd doesn't work at all and system keeps rebooting and no video signal. With two memory sticks the same problem. When I took 2nd module out system works OK.
Could it be faulty memory stick? :confused:

Cheers

Try this, use your single DIMM that will boot the system and enter bios. Set the memory voltage to 2.1v and manually set timings to 4,4,4,12. Save settings, power down, install other DIMM and see if the system will boot. If it will boot, test it with www.memtest.org
