Hi all

Wasn't really sure what section to put this in, so I put it here as i suspect it's the memory with the problem...

Basically my brother has just bought some OCZ PC3200 premier series 1GB (2x 512MB Dual Channel) cas 2.5 3 3 7 and its not working in any configuration in the motherboard, that being a FN41SP mobo in a shuttle SN45G-Ver 2. This is an NF2 Ultra 400 based chipset. The PC wont even POST, graphics card doesn't initiate and output anything to the display, and there is no chance to enter the BIOS. Literally the pc doesnt do anything after pressing the power button.

Does any one know of any known issues with this combination? Only reason why I ask is that I have since lent him a 256MB stick of OCZ cas 2.5 3 3 6 PC3200, and it works fine. I'm aware that the NF chipset can sometimes be a little picky about what ram it uses.

Any advice or help would be very much appreciated!

Note, I shall be testing the ram later on some time in my DFI NF3 250GB, but I'm just wondering in advance if there are any quick fixes.

Cheers!

Will It work with the 256mb stick plugged in and 1 512mb stick plugged in ?
Can the mobo supply enough volts foe this ram ?

I'd firstly try and get a friend to see if the RAM works in another system.
 
Hey dude, thanks for the reply. The memory was shafted. registered as 256mb modules and the timing were way off what the memory said it could do. Neither stick allowed windows to boot in my pc.

Just for info, the mobo ran perfectly with the 256MB stick in it, didnt try it with a 256 and a 512 though.
