Asus K8V-MX wont accept 2x512mb Ram
I have a brand new asus k8v-mx motherboard, s754, AMD64 3000, WD Sata, Antec PSU. This is a brand new build. I have updated the bios, and tried 2 different brand new k8v-ms boards.
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. When I use one stick it will boot fine, I can use one stick in either slot and it still boots fine..but when i add a second 512 ram it freezes..
Any Ideas?

or that the timing is different enough that it throws the processor off . . did both work when used alone?
ASKER
yes both worked when alone
must be a timing difference that was out of the tolerance range

so i can still use the ram in other computers? or different motherboards? I shouldnt send them back?
I would send them back . . do you have another system to check them in?
ASKER
yes i do, should i use memtest+ 1.65?
you could try . . but remember, a good test does not always mean the memory is good . . a bad test does mean the memory is bad
