Can't use all my ram.

Seyeklopz · 12-April-08, 02:29 PM

I can't install all my memory modules on my motherboard. Any single module is bootable, but 2 or more either won't post, won't recognize my raid array, or won't boot vista 64.

Any ideas what I should do? I want to update my bios, but my floppy drive doesn't work. I'm going to try using this bios cd, but I'm not sure which bios revision I should try.

Any suggestions of how I should troubleshoot this problem would be appreciated. Could there be a problem with the fsb, timing, and 8GB of ram? Do I need to set a divider?

I had a similar problem with a DFI board of mine. The solution was to boot it with one stick, up the memory voltage, save and exit, then power off and put in the second stick.
