Motherboard: GA-M61SME-S2 (Supports memory up to 1.8v)
CPU: AMD 6000+ x2
Memory: OCZ PC2 6400 800mhz Gold Edition XTC 2X1gb (RATED 1.8V). Currently only 1 stick installed in slot 2
Graphics card: XFX GeForce 9800 GT
Power supply: 650 watt
OK so Heres the problem i bought the ram described in my specs above the other day and when i put both sticks of ram in computer will not boot at all, But
will boot with 1 stick of ram in slot 2. Wont boot with 1 stick of ram in slot 1. So i updated to the latest F9 bios still no luck so i kept trying to boot it up with 1 stick in slot 1 and finally it booted in slot 1 so i added the other stick in slot 2 and Yep offcourse it didnt boot. But now slot 1 and slot 2 are working everytime in singlechannel but dualchannel dosent seem to be working.
Ive rang around computer techs but they said ive done everything possible that they could of done. So anyways ive orderd a new XFX 8300a Motherboard but still pisses me of that dual channel dont work beacause i will give this motherboard to my brother
I am not sure but i do have a 1 stick of 1gb hynix (667mhz) ram that came with the motherboard and just to see what happened i mixed the OCZ ram (800mhz) with the HYNIX ram and it booted but only said i had 1gb of memory at the speed--->(667mhz) So it picked the Hynix memory over the OCZ BUT the Hynix was in slot 2. It showed up in the bios that booth slots were in use its weird because they normally dont boot with different types of ram inserted its like the ram is to good for this motherboard it likes the cheaper ram ill borrow some ram of a mate thats on the QVL and go from there
thanks for the reply
