DDR3 Not working

Daniel05 · May 2, 2016

I just recently bought a DDR3 4GB Zeppelin Ram 1600. My original DDR3 is a Kingston 1gb 1.5V. Motherboard has 2 ddr3 slots and 2 ddr2 slots. When I try putting in the old DDR2's or my original DDR3,it works. But the new one is not letting the system boot up.

What's the make and model of your motherboard? It's possible that the slots max out at 2GB. When you try that RAM stick, do you hear any beeps and if so, how many?

Motherboard: ASUS-PSG41C-M LX. not hearing any beep sounds at all. when I install the Kingston DDR3 1gb individually. it works. but when I install the DDR3 4GB zeppelin , it does not boot up. not even a beep sound

Well it can accept 4GB but the DDR3 has to be in the black slot only. Does that explain anything? Also, it can't take DDR2 and 3 at the same time so go for another 4GB or DDR3 and you'll max out at 8GB.

Here's the source I found in a Googling. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5G41CM_LX/specifications/

Might try pulling the 2GB, unplug and then reset the CMOS, then try installing the 4GB. Not familiar with Zepplin but quite likely is newer and if so, made with high density memory ICs (chips) if so it's prob not compatible, the G41 was designed back when low density memory ICs predominated

Yes. I actually place only one 4gb DDR3 on one of the black slots. The rest are empty. I tried to boot it several times but not hearing anything or the beep sounds. Is there a need for me to add another DDR3? or do u think its the DDR3 that I purchased thats not working. My DDR2's and original DDR3 is fine.

also the mother board is 2x DIMM 8gb. if i understand correctly, it will work with 4gb on each slot. does that mean i have to place in another 4gb for it to work?

No but you need a compatible stick running low density Memory chips, look at the GSkill NT series of value DRAM which have low density ICs

just to show what tradesman1 is getting at with todays memory and older intel chipsets its hard to find compatible modules that are still made today

maybe the ram used that did work for him may also for you ??

I found out the reason why the DDR3 is not working. First, my board only accepts 1333mhz DDR3 when I purchased 1600. I already got it replaced with a 1333 4gb DDR3. Now the thing is that i run a 32 bit operating system and is maxed at the moment at 4gb, so my DDR3 IS NOT GONNA WORK. My board is ASUS P5G41C MLX, what do u suggest? I upgrade to 64 bit or I just go for 2x DDR3's at 2gb each?

you hunt down the memory like tradesman1 and I tried to explain to you about

like here ?

''http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231424&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-VigLink2-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3821802&SID=in9f1v18u5000a1700053

''Other Thoughts: I have confirmed that this RAM works in the Asus P5G41T-M LX Plus motherboard''

'' One of the few memory series to work on the GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-S2PT LGA 775 Intel G41 ''

as said there just a hand full of memory that left out there that's compatible with older intel chipsets like yours most just don't make it anymore like Kingston

''We do not currently support your PFG41C-M LX motherboard as we no longer manufacture memory that would be compatible with that motherboard. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you''

so if you see memory that will work and end users report it will better grab it and see before it all gone

you running a dated near forgot about passed out computer platform

good luck
