AB9-Pro and 1gb of Crucial Ballistix 667mhz Ram. I can only boot on 1 stick in slot #1. If i put the 2nd stick into slot #3 i get the post code C1 and a long beep. If i put the 2nd stick into slot#2 i get to C5 and it hangs.
Ive tried going into bios and setting voltages higher but this does not help.
My BIOS version is 1.5.
I am really annoyed with this its a new build that i have waited for a while for. The ram was tested in another system and was working perfectly.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks.
**BUMP** Please help me Sean.
**BUMP** Last bump if i dont get reply from some ABIT person i will have to RMA the board :(
Sorry for the late reply but our office is closed on the weekends.
Can you try a few things for me.
1. Update the bios to v1.6
2. Change the DDR2 voltages to match the make and model of memory.
3. Make sure the speed & timmings are set correctly. You may have to set these yourself
Can you confirm you're sticking the ram into the 2 orange slots or the 2 green slots? These are the seperate channels to give Dual channel running.
Set the voltage to 2.1v in bios and see if that helps also. Shouldnt have a problem booting these sticks though, had no issues with Crucial Anniversary which is essentially the same ram
Flashed to 1.6 set voltage to 2.1v (also tried 2.2v) i put the speed, timings and the divider correctly. Saved to CMOS.
Put 2nd stick in booted and i get C1 error with the long beeps. It cant be the RAM as it has been tested in another motherboard and both sticks boot on their own.
Yes i put them both in the orange slots as that is Dual channel. The RAM slot must be faulty or damaged , i will have to RMA the board back to SCAN and purchase a different motherboard. As the AB9 has been giving way too many problems, usually when i turn off pc overnight go to boot up again it Halts on 2A and i have to clear CMOS.
Extremely annoyed with the AB9, this has put me off going for the AW9D MAX as a replacement, but ill wait and see.
Thanks for the help, im gonna RMA as this is one hell of a pain in the backside :(
