mobo is a GA-k8nf-9

 

problem is that only 1 stick of ram will work at anytime giving time, I have test all slots and all the sticks of ram all work fine unless you put more then one stick in.

 

if 2 stick or more the PC will freeze on bootup something, with and endless loop of long beeps at post. 

 

thanks for any help.

Are you sure the ram sticks are the same as in brand, speed, and voltages,  on some mb's this can make a difference ?

[danked]

4 sticks  2 differnt pairs all same speed, they all worked together for some time.

[SpikeSoprano]

Well then sorry to say it probably the mb.

Most likely a memory controller problem in the motherboard. Repair or RMA possible? If not, then it's time to buy a new board.

Try higher volts on the IMC and/or RAM as well as trying lower speeds.

I did increased the votls on the ram, and now two sticks will work at one time, but its has crashed a few time, so i dont know how stable it is but its been working ok for now.

Don't gamble with your data - run something like Memtest to make sure it's actually stable before using your computer at all.

 

Raising the voltage and lowering the speed should help stability quite a bit even on a dodgy CPU/board.

ok i will try the memtest, cause now all i get is  bsod KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR

[wevsspot]

It's most likely one of two things;

 

1. NF4 MCP Chipset going bad

2. IMC on cpu die going bad

 

At any rate, Memtest will pop out a ton of errors if either of those is the case.

 

Since you have four sticks of memory, start with one stick, Memtest for a couple hours, now add second stick test for a couple hours, now add next stick (you get the idea).  Make sure you use the recommended DIMM slots for each memory configuration.

well the pc crashes as soon as windows loads up so no chance to run memtest, i do have another CPU maybe i should test it with that.

 

ps the ram its working fine in other PC

Run memtest on those RAM modules in other PC. If nothing goes bad, then it should be the IMC which is creating the problems.
