I just purchased a new Gigabyte GA-770TA-UD3 motherboard and 2 sets of 2x2gb pc1600 A-DATA ram. The Ram is on the QVL. The board is running an AMD 955 cpu. I can not get the 2 sets of ram to run together on the board. When both sets are installed it will not boot and I get one long beep. When one set of the ram is installed in slot 1 and slot 3 the board boots fine. If just one stick of the ram is installed in slot 1 the board will boot fine. If all 4 modules are installed the board will not boot. I have tried both sets in slot 1 and 3 and each set will boot individually, but not when all 4 are installed. The board will not boot if one set of the ram is in slot 1 and 2. Am I missing something here? The sets check out individually but won't run together. Here is what the manual says:
This motherboard provides four DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory. Enabling
Dual Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following: Channel 0: DDR3_1, DDR3_3 Channel 1: DDR3_2, DDR3_4
Dual Channel Memory Configurations Table
says slot 1 and 2 and slot 3 and 4
Any help would be appreciated. I emailed Gigabyte 2 days ago and haven't had a response yet.
