Hey guys. To cut a long story short, I finally got my replacement RAM after 3 months of waiting. I loaded them up but I'm having all kinds of problems.
Before I go any further,
OS: win7 x64,
mobo: ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO
memory: 2x 2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1333
I think that the new DIMMs might not be compatible with my motherboard, or I'm not installing them properly for dual channel. If I install either one on its own, the system boots and works 100%. memtest86+ also passed with 0 errors, so I'm pretty sure the RAM isnt faulty. As soon as I add a second DIMM everything goes haywire. The system boots, but loading a game in cod4 either locks up the system completely, or has some crazy flickering and other graphics glitches. Sometimes windows has artifacts and weird colours too.
In the mobo manual, on page 1-11 for reference, they label the memory slots A2,B2,A1,B1 (Black,Black,Blue,Blue). This should mean that I need to load them up in either the black slots (A2,B2) or the blue slots (A1,B1) for them to work in dual channel right? No matter what configuration I try, it doesnt work with 2 DIMMs.
Please help. If this RAM doesnt work I dont know what more I can do. I'm more exasperated than I might sound, believe me :/
Thanks
