Newbie Memory issue

arigold · 13 Feb 2009 at 16:06

I have a Asrock motherboard which supports DDR2 and DDR

Currently have 1x1GB DDR2 in the motherboard, which works fine

I wanted to try 2x1GB DDR memory, removed the DDR2, however following happens

Boot up screen detects 3GB of memory
Boot up gets stuck at "Checking NVRAM"

Any ideas?

Thanks

I think you have to stick with either DDR or DDR2, but i could be wrong

I have, i took out the DDR2 before inserting DDR

Try taking out one of the RAM sticks and seeing if you still get the error, then swap them round. Could be a dodgy RAM slot if it's not a dodgy RAM stick.

You are resetting the CMOS too?
