Well i recently wanted to put 8gigs of RAM in my system, so i bought 4 more gigs of the same RAM as i got before.

When i put the new RAM in and went to boot up my computer, I get power, fans spin, lights go, everything is getting power. My monitor doesnt turn on, I don't get any beeps from the MB, my HD doesn't have any activity the, LED light doesn't flash nor does it make noise. it just sits there with power running through it. Basically using it as a little heater .

But when i have 4 gigs in, the computer will boot up just fine.

So i tried testing the RAM making sure it wasn't dead. I took my old RAM out of DIMM1 & 3, and put my new sticks in the same slots, it boots up. (RAM is good)

Next i wanted to check DIMM 2 & 4 maybe there was a problem with that, Put sticks in and it boots up just fine. (DIMM 2 & 4 good)

ok so im confused, Ive tried resetting my CMOS by taking out the little battery for like a min. Put it back in with all sticks in and still no screen or HD.

Ive went to ECS site and updated my Drivers, Still nothing.

Im now in the hole and have no idea. This was my first build and basically working on computers. Installing was all good havnt had problems at all in tell now.

Anyone have a clue what to do???? would like to get this in my system, i don't feel like dealing with it after iraq. want to get it out of the way..

Thanks everyone who reads and try's to help, tried other forums but i don't get responses.

I would, but im not that in depth with computers yet and really dont know how.

can anyone walk me through this?

Thanks for helping me man, i really appreciate it.

The old ram i bought about a month ago, and the new ram is like a week old.

Here is my BIOS screen.

Voltage settings


Extra Chip set info


Cpuz Memory


Cpuz (more info about ram, thought this could help also*slots 1 and 3 show the same info.*)


Now what i don't get is BIOS says 1.9v but yet Cpuz shows 1.8....

Alrite, I will change the OC func first and see if the ram voltage takes affect in CPUz. and report back with updates.

EDIT: ok i changed the OC Func to enable, and here is 2 pictures, 1 is what opened, and the other is my voltage options for my ram.




Now for Cpuz voltage didnt change at all, still reads 1.8v. BUT the DRAM Frequency dropped 1.3MHz

Next go around I'd try RAM @ 1.95v first with 2 sticks and then four. CPU-Z still showing 1.8v might just be a display error. But if the voltage isn't changing that might be what's keeping the system from booting with all 4 slots filled.

Did your motherboard come with any hardware monitoring utility software or program?

2.0v will be safe for any 1.8v-1.9v RAM.

Not much else to do except try 2.0v that I can see.
It's starting to look like there might be an issue with the motherboard. Probably time to start working with the ECS tech support. See if they have a forum, etc.
