[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 974622, member: 76888"] If your motherboard has 4 RAM slots then make sure the RAM is in the same channel eg. RAM | EMPTY | RAM | EMPTY or if the ram has different timings then run them in seperate channels eg. RAM | RAM | EMPTY | EMPTY [DOUBLEPOST=1363273103][/DOUBLEPOST]oh I just checked you only have 2 slots Try swapping the 2 sticks around. If that doesn't work you might have to manually enter the RAM timings/voltages in BIOS. You can write down the automatically detected timings for each single stick individually, then when you run both sticks at once manually set the timings to the stick that had the loosest timing. If that doesn't work then either 1. The mismatched RAM is incompatible with each other (This sometimes happens if you don't have a matched pair) or 2. the 2nd RAM slot on the motherboard is faulty. If you had 2x identical RAM sticks that you could try on the motherboard then this would eliminate the later. [/QUOTE]
