Memory problems (4/6/8GB) in EP-45-DS3LR

[Red24]

Hi.

I've got 2x2GB (Kingstone VR 800MHz CL5) in Dual Channel. I've bought another 2x2GB same brand, same type. And heere we go : after inserting two other sticks, computer kept restarting ith blank screen. I've pulled them out - on my old 2x2GB also same thing. I've tryied everything - matching them with one and other : no luck. One more thing : every stick works fine when put in DDR 0 slot alone. Any ideas?

Cpu: Model E6850
Ram: Kingstone Value RAM DDR2 4x2GB 800MHz
Power Supply Unit: Cheftec APS-550W

One stick in any other slot?

Re: Memory problems (4/6/8GB) in EP-45-DS3LR

Doesn't work in any other. But I've had those 2x2GB in DDR 0 and DDR 2 slots for over a year and everything was fine.

I can only assime something broke when you inserted the new sticks, you would have to take the board out the case look for physical damage.

Re: Memory problems (4/6/8GB) in EP-45-DS3LR

There's nothing to break there. Funny - I've managed to launch it with my old 2x2GB's. But after inserting another 2x2 - same thing and back to 1x2GB

I need a link to your exact memory, or the model #, before I can advise.

You can use 8GB but you are going to need to make several changes. I doubt anything is broke, you just need to make some changes before you insert the extra 4GB

Kingston Technology Company - Kingston Memory Search - Search Results for: KVR800D2N5/2G

2x2GB worked fine with all settings to AUTO. I've tryied MCH v +0.1 - no luck...

Memory is working now fine. None of ppl who write here really knew the answer. It layied somewhere else. But this motherboard is my last from Giga****. Peace.

We knew exactly what it is just decided not to tell you

Re: Memory problems (4/6/8GB) in EP-45-DS3LR

I know what the problem is, a few of them. Do you still want my advice, or not? No reason to act like that becuase your reply took a day or so, this forum is a very busy place.

You need to set your ram voltage, increase MCH to 1.24-1.32, and some other changes as well. Nothing wrong with your board or Gigabyte, you just need the right settings is all and a board from ANY manufacturer would need these changes for 8GB.

Let me know if you want further help, if so I will give you settings, if not no point in me posting them if you are not going to use them.
