Hey guys, as you can see from the title, I have some problems with my memory.
First off here are my specs:
MOBO Gigabyte G31M-ES2C
RAM Kingston 2x2GB DDR2
CPU Core 2 Quad Q6700
GPU ATi Radeon HD 3870
OS Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
The memory modules are supposedly identical, when I looked at them closely however, one of them has hynix chips and the other has kingston. The motherboard detects both sticks and a total of 4GB of ram in the bios screen. The problem is that when in the screen right after the "all ok" beep sometimes it says that memory runs in single channel or that it runs in dual channel interleaved. 9 times out of 10, it doesn't boot or even enter bios setup when it says that memory runs in single channel, it just reboots again and again or just sticks at that screen
It only boots or properly does anything if it says that memory runs in dual channel interleaved. I also noticed upon inspection that the kingston chips stick heats up more than the hynix chips one, also they both aren't supported in the memory support list for that specific motherboard. Is that the problem? Or can it be that I do not have totally identical sticks? I also forgot to mention that when I leave one of the sticks and take out the other, it sometimes boots/enters setup and sometimes not(tried in both banks to make sure the banks aren't the problem).
I look forward to ur help guys
Thanks in advance.
