| 1305755 | 2012-10-08 23:15:00 | Only reason why it may not work now, is you installed the new ram the wrong way. And its killed something | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1305756 | 2012-10-08 23:17:00 | I might be mis-reading but the supported RAM list for that board only accepts DDR2-533 in 2GB modules... unless they've done a bios update. Your KVR800D2N6 is DDR2-800. His old 1GB sticks are also ddr2 800 i think. which he says has been working until he decided to upgrade. |

| 1305757 | 2012-10-08 23:57:00 | ^ 1GB DDR2-800 are ok according to this www.gigabyte.com 2GB 533/667 are supported, but nothing in the 800 list. |

| 1305758 | 2012-10-09 00:25:00 | The board should support the RAM according to the Spec's 1.2 DDR2 DIMM memory slots (supports up to 8GB memory) 2.Supports dual channel DDR2 800/667/533/400 DIMMs What speedy mentioned in Post #11 could have happened. If the New RAM was installed incorrectly it may have done some damage. By putting back the original RAM that was working OK beforehand, and that now doesn't work, could mean the Motherboard DIMM slots are fried or damaged in some way. |

| 1305759 | 2012-10-09 00:46:00 | RAM only goes in one way. There's an off-centre keyed notch, but if you push hard enough you can dent the plastic in the slot and get the thing in partially. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1305760 | 2012-10-09 02:27:00 | Yeah, RAM typically needs a very strong push to seat it, and I surprised myself by succeeding in 'seating' a stick the wrong way around once. I was amazed that the big plastic sorround where the RAM seats could actually deflect that much. All worked still once I'd corrected my blunder. Another issue even if the sticks are right way around is that the tightness of the slots can sometimes mean that the centre of the splot has deflected down a bit, so it's seated soundly at either end, and the centre still isn't properly seated. The only solution for this involves getting access to the rear of the mobo to give a good push from that side as well. |

Which is why I prefer (for new builds anyway) to load RAM into the board while it's still on the bench, then put it in the case. Aah... the days of good old EDO and the side-loaded spring clips :D |

| 1305762 | 2012-10-09 03:44:00 | Yep always before you put the mobo into the case. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1305763 | 2012-10-09 05:34:00 | Wouldn't be surprised if we don't see pringlesman again. I think they maybe one of those one time posters. :) |
