acer g45t g43t am3 - LOOOOOOOOONG BEEP!

[Radik Absalyamov]

HELLO!!! i got some strange problem...
I have a motherboard acer g45t g43t am3.. Have a 8 GB by 2GB x 4 modules. Like :
1. 2GB 1333 Mhz PC 10600.
2. 2GB 1333 Mhz PC 10600.
3. 2GB 1333 Mhz PC 10600.
4. 2GB 1333 Mhz PC 10600. TOTAL 8 GB..
So, if i install by one, it work.. If i install 2 modules = 4 GB = WORK...
But if i more 2gb.. (for make it 6GB) it's start LOOONG BEEP, motherboard doesn't start.
about make 8 GB same porblem.... Seems like Motherboard can't accept more than 5 gb.. (4-5GB work). All RAM MODULES perfect work by one.. (if single). Buy yesterday in show (they are new).. In official info this motherboard show - support 8 GB.

PLs help! Anyone know how to fix it? (Maybe bios setting??)

What kind of BIOS does your system have (AMI/Pheonix etc.)? You can look up beep codes for those BIOSes and it can tell you what's wrong.
Try cleaning out the slots/contacts on the memory, and also try putting the ram in different slots, (one stick in first slot, then move it to the second slot, third, etc.). Maybe a slot is bad?
Populate the black slots first and try, then the blue, one at a time.
Just try every combination you can. Sometimes you can convince it to work.

Some motherboards just don't like certain sticks, even if it meets the requirements. I have an ASUS M2N-MX SE board that refuses to work with anything that isn't on the QVL in the second slot.

No i don't thinkk so it dirty. By one slot, its work perfectly. i had changed One module on all slots - it work. Bios AMI

1 Long beep in an AMI bios means everything is fine.

Are you using the onboard VGA/HDMI port on your board? Since you aren't getting any display and onboard video relies on the memory as the VRAM maybe it has something to do with it.
Maybe try updating the BIOS if a new version is available.

Since you are using an OEM board you need to find the model of the computer it came out of. Look in the BIOS Setup for any model numbers (or if you still have the original case it's probably on a label).

I googled around and it may have come out of an Acer Aspire AM3800, but we need to make sure before you update the BIOS or you might get a brick.

Since you say you are using a dedicated video card, go into the BIOS Setup and look for video options and make sure the PCI-E graphics is set to the first priority or see if you can disable integrated video entirely. This should rule out the possibility of the new memory causing no video.

Problem not in VGA sure, as i said.. If i install by one modul in every slot, it work.. Then, i install two modules 2x2gb - Its work. So then i add one more 1 moduile 1x1GB. Its work... = 5 GB total. But if change 1 gb on 2 gb or more.. It beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Bios 2009. I have trying to find more new.. I dont think possbiel find more fresh bios. Seems like mother board Blocked if more than 5 GB. (All modiles the same )

Well, your chipset (G45 or G43) supports 8GB maximum memory, so its not a physical limitation. From what I've read the M3800 can have a maximum memory of 8GB, so you are fine.

On Acer's website the M3800's latest bios is P01.A2 from 2010.

As I said, before updating, it is a good idea to find the original model number to make sure that it is the correct BIOS or you could get a brick.

If you are sure it can't be the internal video, then fine, just a precaution.
