Shuttle refuses to boot with RAM upgrade

Stringy · 7 Jan 2008 at 12:25

I bought 2 x 1GB pc3200 Corsair XMS off the members market to go in my ST20G5 in place of 2x512MB Corsair Value. When I put the 2 sticks in the computer refuses to POST, and doesn't throw up any error beeps or anything. However, each stick individually works fine, and I know both slots work as the 2x512 worked when I put them back in.

Anyone got any ideas?

edit: It'll even boot with 1x1GB + 1x512MB for 1.5GB total :confused:

No joy with voltages, sort of thing a bios update might cure?

Well my old RAM isn't on there, and there is no logical reason why it wouldn't work; that's just a list of the RAM they've tested.

Hurumph

RAM timings are set to auto detect...
