OK so i bought this pc about a year ago and it works fine. but i have another 2 slots for ram so i might as well use them. This mobo supports up to 8GB of 800mhz DDR2 ram. so i have got 8GB brand new OCZ DDR2 6400 ram right now, but when i try to install more then 2 sticks of ram the pc wont boot. here is what i have tried. here is the layout of the mobos ram slots and what i have tried and tested to try and sort this out-
1x blue ram slot
1x yellow ram slot
1x blue ram slot
1x yellow ram slot
Test1: swapped out all 4 modules in first blue ram slot - all work fine
Test2: 1 module in each of the blue ram slots - all work fine
Test3: 1 blue and 1 yellow slot filled - pc wont boot up, it powers up but monitor wont even come off standby.
Test4: 1 blue, 1 yellow, 2nd blue ram slot filled - same result as above
Test5: All ram slots filled - same result as above ;(
Test6: single module in a yellow slot - wont work...wtf???
ok so i have confirmed that all 4 ram modules are working fine and dandy. but it seems that when i try to use the yellow outlined ram slots the pc just refuses to boot up at all.
any ideas mates?
