hi,
i run a NF7 V2.0 with AXP 2500+ and 512MB of OCZ DDR400 (2x256)
im hoping to get a new comp soon but untill i do, i was hoping to add another 256mb from my older AXP1800+ machine that i dont use...
the extra memory is a Kingston DDR333 256MB...
according to the specs and everything there shouldnt be a problem so long as i run all the modules at 333Mhz (downclock the 2 400 modules which doesnt make a difference anyways) which i did and the computer continues to start loading windows (XPSP2).
but, somewhere near the actual running of the system windows gives the a blue screen saying the hardware config isnt right.
i remembered having a similar problem and solving it by turning on the Auto ESCD update if i remember it correctly... i proceeded to reboot the system many times making sure the ESCD Update was on and letting the system boot... when with only 512MB the computer starts as usual... as right now i am typing this message... but once i add the extra module the computer boots up untill windows loads and gives me the blue screen again...
anyone have any idea how i can solve this?
could it be the module placing??? in the MOBO manual it says to add the modules from socket3 to 1... maybe i should put the 2 OCZ mudules in sockets 1-2 instead of 2-3 and then add the Kingston to socket 3??? could this help?
thanks in advance, any help, guidance and ideas are welcome...
