Not Working

Have just built my new PC with an ASUS P5Q Motherboard and am having problems when 8GB Of DDR2 800 Is Installed, The BIOS sees the ram ok but it wont boot from the DVD to install windows, if i remove 2 sticks it works fine.

The RAM OCZ PC2 6400 Gold Series PN:OCZ2G8004GK

evertime i put any memory in the 2nd slots it just resets the bios then wont boot

I beginning to think that the mobo does not support the ram

Whenever it crashes after changing the memory windows wont work and i have to reinstall, dont mater what you do it just resets the bios

Just Tried The Ram out my old PC and its working no problem at all, im using 4 x 1GB DDR2 667 (Cheapie stuff)

2 Branded Kingston
2 Branded Crucial

So does anyone else have this board and recommend a good compatible memory?

Right! Had The DDR667 In All Night And Its As Stable As A Hell, The Minute I Put So Much As 1 Stick Of The OCZ Back In Windows Will Blue Screen, The Bios Resets & Just Get Random Errors Before It Even Tries To Boot So I Think Its Def A Compatabilty Problem.

Will RMA It Back And Get Some Kingston To Try I Thinks!

The auld ASUS & OCZ gremlin back with a bang then lol

I'd have a gander at the QVL list on the ASUS website, then buy supported ram as to best avoid any more issues

I Just Ordered 2 Packs Of Kingston HyperX, Im Working On The Theroy That As Im Using Kingston DDR667 And It Super Pukka Fine This Will Work Ok :rolleyes:

Bit ****** As The OCZ Looks The Dogs Bits!
