Value Select DDR on Gigabyte K8NS Pro
Hello,
I have a problem with Corsair memory and my NForce 3 mobo. Currently, my Pc (Gigabyte K8NS Pro, Athlon 64 3000 sk 754, Radeon 9550, Maxtor Dmax 9 IDE, 512 megs vdata DDR 400 CL3 single sided, XP SP2 fully patched) has only 521 megs of ram. I bought another stick from vdata (double sided, CL2.5) but the system hang during POST. I brought back the stick and got a different one, again from vdata (single sided, CL2.5) and the machine booted but frozen just after logging in in XP. I decided to replace the memory and I purchased 2*512 megs of ValueSelect. I flipped them in the machine (after removing the vdata module) and the system frozen after logging in in XP. I rebooted, entered in safe mode and I had no problems. Reboot in normal mode resulted in freezing XP. Using only one stick there are no problems. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Mik |

You may need to fully clear the CMOS when adding new memory. If that does not work, test each module individually with www.memtest.org (Memtest) and run them for 3-5 passes each.

Just an update: I tried what you suggested with no luck.
Then I installed the new memory on my old rig (Athlon XP 2800, Ecs N2U400) and it worked flawlessy. I think I will need to reinstall Windows on my new machine and see what happens. Thank you. |
