Hi,

Got a SAMSUNG 2x1gb tccc (not tccd) value kit. Put the ram on my DFI mobo, eveything would swicth on but no display. I tried some other RAM everything worked FINE!! The RAM was ought brand new, is it just incompatible?

Sure it was in the right slots/100% in the board/configuration?

Try booting with one module in the outer orange slot then see if you can get into the BIOS.

Tied all ram slots, with one stick-nothing!! Does this mean incompatiblilty or its just faulty?

What do these modules look like? Are they odd double stacked high density modules?

Hamoodii · 4 Oct 2006 at 19:54

Yes they did look rather odd...something like

(the stick in the middle!)

rough idea

Yeah you've bought el cheapo high density RAM that only works with a few odd Via and SiS chipsets, not NForce 4.
