P5B & OCZ not booting?

Ok so I have heard the horror stories about P5B Core 2 systems not booting when using OCZ DDR2 and I think it has happened to me as well. However I'm not sure...

1) Everything powers up fine including cpu fan, case fans and video card fan.
2) HDD lights up red but no beeps.

The monitor simply says no signal detected. I have double checked every cable both inside and out and everything is secure and in place. Video card is in the correct slot and DVI cable is fine. If the memory is bad or isn't compatible with a motherboard would I at least be able to get to BIOS or would nothing show on the screen at all as with my case?

Ok well it seems Asus just released BIOS v.0614 which addresses memory compatibility namely the OCZ 6400 series. Looks like I will have to get some cheapo DDR2 from BB to do the update then return it, I really hope that does it.

Here's the link for any other unfortunate soul having this problem...

Did you try one stick? If it boots with one stick, go into bios and set vdimm for 2.10.

No I didnt but I just bought a single 512 stick from BB and sure enough the computer booted. Thanks to the easy to use Asus EZFlash2 I was able to update the BIOS to 0614 and now the OCZ works fine and boy is my computer quick now.

Good for you my pqi turbo memory is till not supported on 965 chipest.
