RAM installation HELP :(

[Lvcoyote]

Actually starting on page 3-32 there is a walk through on a few different ways of flashing the BIOS.

before trying to re flash or anything else extreme try the MemOK button usually will fix a good 90% of memory problems on ASUS boards.

I tried the MemOK button too, still doesn't work..

It'll be tough to run all those together, they have different timings.

Did you buy two single sticks?? If you did, you should have bought them as a kit (2X8Gb), which ensures they will run together.

Ok, put your old memory back in and flash the BIOS using your manual for instructions. I recommend using the EZ flash method described in there.

I bought them as a kit. I didn't buy them individually.

Just wondering, but what if you reverse the positions of those two 8GB DIMMs?

Is it possible the new memory is from a company whose strict standards allow 2 bad bits per DIMM?
