About 2 months ago my computer stopped booting and I couldn't figure out why I finally pulled one of the sticks of RAM and it booted so I figured it was bad. Now I have replaced both sticks but it still won't boot. What would cause it to be unable to boot with more then 1 stick of RAM?

TCoville I regret to inform you that your motherboard has contracted the infamous "Only 1 stick of ram" sickness.

My motherboard is doing the same thing (mine started 2 days after I built it)

currently there is no cure.


Some people say upping memory voltage in BIOS, or MANUALLY setting memory timing in BIOS works.

Either have worked for me.

I have been researching day in and day out for the last week striaght trying to find a solution to this problem. I have brought it to computer stores, I have asked many computer techs, I have asked asus, and AMD, and still I am empty handed.

I created a thread about this issue in the GENERAL MOTHERBOARD form.

(The greatest unsolved computer problem in the history of computers)

If I ever solve it, I will post the answer there.
