Hi, i bought one DDR3 4Gb 1333 Mhz memory but my pc is not starting. No sounds, i hear that HDD is running, i see the DRD-RW led burning but i get no image. I switched the FSB1 jumper on 2-3 pind but the result is tha same. When i put ddr2 it works.
Any one know why is this problem?
 
Solution
With that board you should have 2x4GB (DDR3-1333 or DDR3-1600 [yes you can]) of double sided, non-ECC, un-buffered memory (preference for dual channel KIT). In order to maximize the system memory.

Memory:

- Dual Channel DDR3/DDR2 memory technology
- 2 x DDR3 DIMM slots
- Supports DDR3 1333(OC)/1066/800 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
- Max. capacity of system memory: 8GB*
- 2 x DDR2 DIMM slots
- Supports DDR2 800/667/533 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
- Max. capacity of system memory: 8GB*

*DDR3 and DDR2 are supported separately.

**Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 32-bit OS. For Windows® 64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such...

Not sure if you managed to resolve your issue.

What CPU are you using?
Also, it is quite possible that the RAM stick you are trying to use is just not compatible with that board.
I have had many issues of the same nature with G41 based mobo's not taking 4Gb sticks of RAM.

***In order to maximize the system memory, please install two dual sided 4GB memory modules.

That´s all.

I have tried 4 types of modules, 2x4 GB ddr3 1333 Mhz. First from Kingmax, then from Corsair, third from Kingston and the last from Adata.
None of the worked, i bought from Team 2x4GB ddr3 1866 for my second PC and just to test them i instaled on the motherboard. Gues what? It worked!
Downkloacked at 1333 but it worked.
How come?

True, also one of the most important timing here is: Row Refresh Cyle Time (tRFC), ddr3 1333MHz and ddr3 1600 must be set to a higher value (tRFC) in order to reach 1333MHz (overclocked) with that board.
