Memory problem

[Jody]

Ive got a new rig (see signature) including 4x1gb total of the following ram:

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

when i built my system last night with my ram in it wouldnt post (all4gb) so i just tried 1 stick and eventually it posted and i got into bios. whilst swapping my ram about i found that one stick just wouldnt work whether it be on its own or with other sticks present.

I ran memtest on the ram stick on its own plus dualed with another to be sure and left it running for around 44-50 mins but no errors.

I know that the timings were set correctly to 4-4-4-12 and i made sure the voltage was within working range 1.9-2.3v

I also made sure it wasnt a bad ram socket using the other ram modules.

Anyone got any ideas please

regards

Jody

this was before i had put OS on, but will be putting vista 64 on it

My P35C DS3R over volts the memory by 0.1 so watch out.

You can check with speedfan (IIRC) to confirm the voltage (check posts in this forum to explain where to look)

thanks for the heads up mate

Jody, How did you get on? I'm interested to see if the revised timings worked for those modules?

Ive had to send my case back so its on hold at the moment, will let you know when im back up and running mate
