Hi guys, I recently got an asus a8v motherboard and I'm having problems getting it to post, let alone boot when I'm using dual channel.
I have two identical sticks of Corsair Value Select 512mb (model no. VS512MB333) which I've installed in dimm slots A1 and B1 (the blue ones). With these two sticks in place, the system won't post at all, the screen doesn't turn on, it just stays black.
If I put one of these sticks in just B1, effectively running one stick of 512mb in single channel, it will boot fine without a problem, and the system is totally fine. This works with both sticks of ram.
The system refuses to post when I have both sticks in the blue slots! I'm currently running both sticks in slots B1 and B2 (slot 3 and 4), which I am told indexes the memory and just runs them in single channel.
I have also tried unplugging everything that's not neccesary and just leaving the vga, cpu and ram in, and it still won't post.
I have tried running these sticks in a friend's motherboard (a8v deluxe) and they work fine in dual channel. I have also tried using his ram in my motherboard and it doesn't work either.
Are there any bios settings I needed to set up? (voltage etc?)
The rest of my system is as follows:
AMD64 3200+
9800 pro
Antec SmartBlue 350w
