New PC problems.

[timtim]

Hi guys,

Posted another thread in the motherboard forum a few days ago, but I'm still getting problems.

My specs are:
Abit IP35
Q6600
8800GT
4GB of 1GB OCZ PC2-6400 Platinum edition

Now heres the problem. At first the computer didn't boot up. This was solved by setting the rated volts and timings. Then when it came round to installing with all four sticks of RAM in, it never worked and all I got was blue screens during the install. This problem was cured when I installed it with 1 stick of memory. Using Memtest, the RAM seemed fine, so I tried 2 sticks of RAM, this also worked with memtest also showing no problems. But when I installed the third stick, memtest came up with an error message instantly. I swapped this stick with the other stick and it would only get past the BIOs screen, then blue screen.

I then tried the two sticks seperatly and they both worked fine.

So my problem seems to be when I have more than two sticks of RAM.

Anyone got any ideas what I should do? Thanks.

It's a shot in the dark, but have you tried every different combinations of RAM in every different slot? Because that'd eliminate the probability of it bein a duff stick of ram or a duff RAM slot

Been asking on another forum, and it looks like the problem may finally be solved. I've set the ratio to 1:1 and so far its looking good.
