I have a XFX 680i LT board and everytime I attempt to boot it gives me Floppy Disk Fail and cmos checksum error. I go into the bios and disable floopy and reboot and it does the same thing. Now, when I have just 3 GB ram in it works and boots up just fine, as soon as I add the 4th stick, its like the BIOS resets itself and it gives me the cmos checksum error again, and no matter what I change in the BIOS it resets itself when the computer reboots. I changed out the cmos battery but that didnt help at all.
I have been researching elsewhere and have been seeing some other people with this sort of issue and it seems with this board, if you are using 4 sticks of 800 ram you have to set the memory timings and voltages just right manually to get it to work with this board.
Does anyone know what voltages / timings and other settings I should use to get this to work properly ? Like i said i have:
XFX 680i LT board
Quad Core Q6600 2.4
Crucial Balistix Tracers PC2-6400- 800MHz 4GB (4x1GB)
It works fine if i just have 3GB its just when i add the 4th stick, i know the ram is fine and the slots are fine, i ruled that out already. PSU is fine too.
