If the clock frequency of the RAM is not supported by the motherboard it would lead to the problem that you are experiencing. I would suggest that you carry your old working RAM to your vendor and try to get an exchange for a piece with exact matching specifications. Rgds |

| 624670 | 2007-12-28 08:55:00 | it could be the ram. Was it second hand? | grahic (12930) | ||
| 624671 | 2007-12-28 08:58:00 | Which is what I said in the 4th post lol. Hell, even the other PC here, wasnt meant to use DDR 400 (Would have been nice to know this, BEFORE I built the bloody thing)! Now, I know why it was 2nd hand and $70.00 lol Altho it does still run, with 2 simms of 512 mb DDR 400 ram. The consequence is, it wont go higher than 266 mhz, in dual channel mode. (only coz its a 533 fsb CPU). Change it to 333 or 400, it wont turn on. |
