Voltes-5 Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Just curious, your sig says 256 + 512. Are you using two sticks of 256 and 512? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvatarofDOOM Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 YES i am i want to get two 512's for dual channel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes-5 Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 It is highly possible that is where your problem is, you cant use a 256 and 512 together, it has to be either 256 x 2 or 512 x 2. Remove the 256 and just put the 512 on the orange slot farther away from the cpu and try the installation again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinjimy Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 is your machine stable? like 8 hours of memtest and prime95 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 It doesn't work with a single stick of 512mb? Have you tried all slots with it? You definitely need to run memtest in any case to check the ram for stability, then you should run prime95 blend for a bit as well...I'd definitely say its your cheapo ram that is giving you problems..though the PSU may come into play later. I'm surprised that Windows installed correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
