Hello,
I am building a gaming system. I have a Asus M4A89GTD PRO MoBo and a AMD Penom 11 CPU. I bought 2 lots of 8 Gb RAM each in 2x4Gb DDR3 sticks. I bought 2 different speeds : CMXBGX3M2A1600C9 and same # but with 1333 instaed of 1600.
I am not mixing the two speeds.
Trouble is the system won't boot beyond the memory check (1 long beep, 2 short ones) and the MemOK light remains lit. Even pressing the MemOk button does not make the system recognise the RAM. Before I return the items as incompatible, could you tell me : does the system fail because the MoBo can't read a 4Gb stick? Would I get it to boot using 4x2Gb sticks - and would c8 or c9 in the RAM spec make any difference?
Cheers
MerC
