just got a pair of Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX for my PC. Am using an ASUS P5KC mobo with Q6600 processor. When i installed the RAM the PC did not post.
Removed one stick and everything was fine except the RAM was running at 800mhz... which is fine coz i can manually set it to the right speed.
Tried the other stick by itself and the pc did not post.
I have tried two sticks of Corsair 800mhz RAM and everything is fine.
Tried setting speed, timings and voltage manually in the bios and then putting the new ram in but the problem persists.
My question is simply... is the RAM faulty? or am i missing something?
