A7N8X Dlx. CAS 2 RAM posting problem

Hi again everyone,

I was playing around last night trying to overclock my RAM, and when I obviously clocked it too high, my PC wouldn't post. Then, I cleared the CMOS, removed battery, etc., and it STILL won't post. The voice message says "System failed memory test". Well, no !@#$. Anyways, this happened once before when I flashed my bios. It ended up being that my mobo didn't like CAS2 RAM in there (Corsair to be precise), and I had to track down some CAS2.5 RAM, boot up, change BIOS settings to CAS2, shut down, switch the RAM, and boot up again.

I can do this again, but it's a huge pain in the ***. Is there any way to get around this without doing all that? It's a first revision mobo FYI.

Thanks!

there is nothing wrong with CAS2 corsair ram. I've use it myself with no problems. I remember corsair had compatility problems with the initally released a7n8x. If your bios is really old you might wanna update that it might fix your problem.

Thanks, but that's not the problem. I updated my bios less than a month ago.
