Hi I need help!
I upgrade my brother's PC last autumn ASUS A8N SLi Deluxe, AMD x2 4400 & 2 GB of Ballistix 4000. Set it run at 400 MHz, no overclock & all was well until Easter.
PC refused to boot emitting a slow constant beep. Local PC shop said RAM was problem, faulty stick, & works fine with just 1. Doesn't matter what slots are used: with 2 sticks no boot. 1 stick - suspect faulty one - will boot sometimes but not others. Have RMA'ed it to OcUK but they were returned unchanged & no comment regarding if/how they were tested & what result was. MemTest, 3 cycles, gives both sticks OK. Can't get RAM to run on any setting other than auto.PC boots to Windows but falls over soon after. Have upgraded BIOS to no avail. Bios settings for memory are more than 2-4-4-4-6 on manual setting so don't know what to chose for others. No SPD setting.
Q. If it is not the RAM is it the mobo or a compatability prob with Crucial & ASUS? I went with it rather than Corsair [previous choice] due to rave reviews.
Thanks, Andrew
