I have a brand new asus k8v-mx motherboard, s754, AMD64 3000, WD Sata, Antec PSU. &nbsp;This is a brand new build. &nbsp;I have updated the bios, and tried 2 different brand new k8v-ms boards. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
There are two ram slots, when I try to use 2 pieces of ram (kingston 512mb PC3200, brand new) the system will freeze in the bios. &nbsp;When I use one stick it will boot fine, &nbsp;I can use one stick in either slot and it still boots fine..but when i add a second 512 ram it freezes..<br />
<br />
Any Ideas?
