| 747539 | 2009-02-13 05:01:00 | I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 motherboard that supports dual channel memory. The memory can be double or single sided. For sometime I have had two sticks of DDR400 512mg memory set up in channels A and C. This gives a gig of memory. One is single sided, the other double sided. I have lashed out and bought two new DDR400 512mg sticks to add to my system. These are both single sided. I installed the two new sticks in B & D but these just hang the system, ie. it won't boot. Upon removing the two new sticks, the system booted. I then installed just the two new sticks in A & C and the system booted. In putting the two old sticks in B & D the system again refused to boot. I did notice that when the sticks were in B & D there seems to be a slight movement in the seating, ie. they waggle a very small amount. Is there some setting I need to do to the BIOS for the two new sticks to be recognised; my manual says they would be automatically detected, or would it seem that I may have a board with two faulty connectors? If two faulty connectors could they be fixed? |
