Hi, i'm having issues installing 8 GB of memory in an Intel S975XBX2. I have 4 sticks of 2GB Memory module DDR2 PC2-5300 CL5 Unbuffered ECC 667 1.8V. when I install all 4 sticks, it doesn't show anything on the monitor - its just a blank screen. The CPU fan and all other fans connected to the motherboard goes up. However, it works when I only use 2 sticks (4GB) installed at both DIMM 0. Do I need to configure in the BIOS? I know that the memory module is compatible with the motherboard as stated in the motherboard's product guide. I hope some can help.
