HAte to say I think so, but I think so, could try dropping the freq a step and try with the same base timings and see if they will Play, try resetting CMOS, then install the 2 sticks, set them up manually then try adding the other two, may still need to raise voltages, but if no joy at a lower freq, then would guess the sticks simply hate each other

Are the 2 sticks specific or are the slots specific that disturbs the monitor. You must have tried all possible combinations of 1,2,3 & 4 sticks in each possible way in the slots to rule out ineffectiveness of Specifix RAM or SLOT!!!!

Hi,

Try a resetting the bios or use the memok button if available on the motherboard.

If nothing from there try 1 stick of ram at a time to see if any of them are defective.
If it boots with one ram at the time, download mem86 and run test on them.

Good luck

Were all the sticks in a single package, or is this a mixture of 2 or more packages of DRAM...If indeed they are mixed packages, the advanced timings may be off and it may well need a bit of extra voltage to the DRAM and the MC (memory controller)

So two sets of sticks, try with one set, go into BIOS and raise DRAM voltage about + 0.065 and give that a try, if no joy try raising the MC (memory controller voltage a tad), not sure of your mobo, let me know, the MC voltage 'name' varies alot, on AMD it's generally the CPU/NB voltage, on Intel it might be VCCIO, VTT, CPUVTT, QPIVTT, VCCSA (yes, weird how they do it) ;)
