I have recently upgraded my motherboard from an Asus P5B Plus Vista, to this Gigabyte X38 DQ6, as *** Asus went back RMA.
I have 4gb of OCZ VX2 Ram PC8000 (1Ghz)
This ram worked fine in the Asus but I can only run with one stick (1gb) in the Gigabyte. I've tried upping the std (1.8v) to the OCZ spec of 2.3v but still the same; it will POST but then I get a black screen with writing about some windows kernel missing or other file missing (have just re-installed Vista due to mptherboard) or it boots into windows for about 1 second then blue screen and re-boots.
Works completely fine with 1gb ram fitted. I thought something was wrong with my build until lastly I tried the ram. lol
Am I missing something or do I need to buy new ram? Hope not, this VX2 stuff was expensive!!
Any suggestions on new RAM if needed?
Thanks!
