Hi ,
I recently purchased a dynet ddr3 4gb 1333 mhz ram and my motherboard is gigabyte ga-g41m combo, my processor is intel p4 613 sl9k 3.00 Hz . Issue is that , when I place this ddr3 ram on its specified slot and when I turn on the comp, it's keep on beeping. and my display remains off. But when I use my old DDR 2 rams my comp statrs without a glitch. I can't figure out what to do as I can't think of any possible solution.

Supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory for great flexibility

DDR3:

2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory (Note 1)
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 1333(O.C.)/1066/800 MHz memory modules

DDR2:

2 x 1.8V DDR2 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory (Note 1)
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR2 1066(O.C.)/800/667 MHz memory modules

bro this is your lucky day i have the solution just minutes ago i do answer my solution in the forum of Gigabyte :

I have the same motherboard GA-G41M-COMBO and also I had the same problem, i did buy two memory moduls ADATA AXDU1333GB2G9-3G, just i do think this kind of memory will be working fine in my motherboard because are inside of specs of Mobo.

Here's what happened i did install the two new modules of DDR3 ADATA 1333 and the motherboard just can not boot anything this just kept beeping without any possibility of go inside of BIOS, and then like there was not way to select some option like *Default Settings*, so I assumed than i should delete the BIOS settings through CLR_CMOS jumper and so I try (and even retire the battery) but it did not work and the mobo kept beeping after the clearing of settings, the which is something very strange as this motherboard should support DDR3.

But then happened something very strange here, you see how before i was using two modules of DDR2 both of 1GB and like this still work for my I do have the idea of do downgrade to another bios one older than the last than i do have flashed in the mobo and after of make this and only so finally the motherboar was capable of can boot with the new memory DDR3.

To here that was my solution, but then i do assume something will be wrong with the last bios provided by gigabyte and to confirm this i just think i was be easy prove just i will reflash again the last bios with the new DDR3 Modules working and after this the Motherboard logically would not boot and so i make it, but I had a big surprise when this time with the bios than before cant get work now it do work nicely..


Someone understand where was the problem, but all this was my sulution hope to someone this info be useful... =)


Sorry for my poor inglish, cheersss!!!!!

The G41 chipset (Dual Core/Core 2 Duo/Core 2 Quad) boards require double-sided low density (2Rx8) 4GB modules. They WILL NOT post with single-sided high density (1Rx8) 4GB memory installed.

I have a G41M and a P45 board and they both require double-sided low density 4GB (2Rx8) memory modules or they will not post.

They also require 2GB modules to be double-sided (2Rx8) although sometimes will post and run with single-sided 2GB modules but this can cause memory corruption and errors. However 1GB modules can be single-sided or double-sided. Newer 2GB and 4GB memory modules are almost all single-sided and high density (1Rx8) as newer motherboards can support this chip configuration and it is cheaper to manufacture.

You can tell if a 4GB memory module is 2Rx8 because it has 2 rows of 8 chips (totaling 16 chips) = 8 on one side and 8 on the other side. A 1Rx8 module has 1 row of 8 chips on one side only, and nothing on the other side.
