ram add in problems

[fran1]

The above post gave me a thought, whether it'll make any odds I don't know. The RAM has latency timings. From cas 4-9 I think. Are the sticks the same timing, the label on the side should tell you.

Lack of demand?

Interesting! Certainly good news for the consumer.

hi mates

still having problems

when we put a stick in, even after going into bios and changing the frequency from auto,
then next restart it don't want to start up until the setting is on auto.


i cant find anything anywhere about this timing stuff, sorry

If you are having to change the bios every time it could indicate that the motherboard battery needs replacing. They are cheap and easy to do.

Ron,
The mobo will take a max of 16gb 4x4 gb DDR3 1066 or 1333 in dual channel mode.
Will the thing run with the original sticks in the original dimms/slots 1and 2 or 1and 3 for dual channel.

Just read this, try it.
Unplug power lead, put new RAM in, remember 1 +3 or 2+4 slots. Take battery out, now it says press power button to fully discharge system (5 secs), leave battery out for 2-3 mins. Replace all and start up.

John,

Thanks for the link.

I was going to create a new thread about a ram issue, but that link you put has worked for me instead. It's little things like this I am thankful for being a part of this forum/community. You guys and gals that are WAY more knowledgable about little tips and tricks, to make the sim as well as the computer a better experience, definately are appreciated by us less experieced people. So at the cost of sounding like a broken record,

Thanks for the link.
