Hi,
I'm attempting to upgrade the ram for my Gigabyte GA-G41-combo rev 2.0, (bios FB) motherboard, from 4GB (2x2gb) to 8GB (2x4gb), but I'm having trouble finding the correct ram module for it.
I just received through the post 8GB (2x4gb) of Corsair xms3 1333 mhz ram, but it doesn't work. After installing it at startup just beeps a load of times and then nothing.
I've been looking into this all day, and i think the reason why is because the Gigabyte GA-G41-combo motherboard, only supports 256MB configuration but the corsair ram is 512MB config as is most new ram now.
' The chipset can only address low density 256MB RAM chips -buying ‘off the shelf’ 1333MHz DDR3 will result in failure to post (as the newer RAM sticks have single-sided high density 512MB RAM chips on the sticks). 8GB no problems there, so long as it is low-density double sided.'
So I'm hoping someone here could find me the correct ones for this motherboard.
It needs to be 4GB DDR3 1333mhz 240pin but also 256M and NOT 512M ram as these will not work with the Intel G41 Chipset.
