same old DS3 problem, but what about ram??

NemesiSSS · 7 Jan 2007 at 22:06

ok so i seem to have the same problem a few other have had with the DS3. Just upgrades my rig with DS3, e6300 and Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-6400C4 TwinX RAM. Now all is installed. But when i turn it on, no post. The fans turn on but the TFT stays off. I have tested all the cables. Swaped the GRX card to no luck. Swapped the RAm stick around. Tried it with no ram in. kept turning on and off ever 5 seconds or so.

So im at a loss atm. Firstly has anyone tested the above setup. I no the DS3 has problems with sum RAM but i thought this one was ok, can anyone confirm this??

Also do i go back to overclockers about this or do i have to contact gigabyte direct??

Please help. was looking forward to this for weeks

thanks

i believe its the mobo RAM voltage being to low, default 1.8. needs to be 1.9 - 2.2 i think.
