I cannot install 4gb of ram on my mobo ... reason unknow so far :|
i prolly tryed everything possible... loosing the timings, increasing volts, installing vista with 3gb and then putting anoather 1gb in, what else ?does anyone had the same problems im going through?what is ur opinion ?

I would check the manual for your mobo. p5n32-e has had many problems as you can read from newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131073 id contact asus for tech support. Then play the waiting game. Always fun!

 

[bblackangel99]

yeah ... contact asus ... i think u are joking )

Yeah I have the same motherboard, there has been alot of problems with ram and this mobo, there is a document on the asus website listing supported ram for the mobo. my g-skill isn't listed but thank goodness it worked for me with 4-4-4-12 timings.

Go to Asus website and get bios 1302. It will probably solve your problem. Whatevevr you do don't try 1403. It is a beta flash and it just wiped out my bios chip. Waiting for new bios to come.

I ahve the ADATA 667Mhx ram (4gb - 2x2) and the P5N32-E SLI Plus board and a E6300 core 2 duo.

Initially I had random lockups and issues until I changed the following settings

LTD Frequency 5x (changed from 4x)
FSB to unlinked (changed from Linked)

hope this helps.
