hero450 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 i recently got a msi-nf725gtm-p31 (ms-7309) motherboard and have 2 identical (2x-1g) 2rx8 pc2 5300u 555 12 ram sticks and when i put one in it boots fine but when they are both put in together the computer wont boot. ive already tried changing the voltage but it does not help.

sword_fish Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 i would revert my voltages to default, boot your PC with 1 stick at a time (testing individually). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 try putting 1 stick in at a time and run memtest on it ,then try the other stick, if it passes put 1 stick in different memory slots and see if the slots are all working, then try the 2 sticks with different voltages or just use default volts set to auto.

hero450 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 i tried that and both work on the first slot fine but the second it does not work alone or together with the first the comp wont even boot. i wouldnt say the slot is the problem because i thought it was so i replaced the motherboard and the problem persists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Dead second channel on the CPU's memory controller? See if you can disable dual-channel mode with only one stick in, then install the second stick. I don't think it'd fix it if the second channel is completely dead though. You could try boosting the IMC voltage a few notches to see if it starts working again.

Waco Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 You might not be able to, especially on an older board. I know some boards do have the option though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Capitan Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Can you verify that the second channel you're putting the second stick into is the correct one? The memory slots are usually color coded. Also check to make sure there's nothing in the second slot, like lint or broken plastic, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hero450 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 there is only 2 slots what would be the issue here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 2 slots, most likely a bad slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
