Asrock G41M-VS3 motherboard not supporting Twin-mos 1333Mhz 4Gb DDR3 Ram.

[NIghtmare47]

Hi,
I bought a 4GB twin-mos 1333mhz ram for my g41m-vs3 motherboard. But when i connect the 4gb ram to my motherboard, my PC has start but nothing shows on the monitor even the bios doesn't come . I change FSB1 jumper setting to 2-3. But stil nothing shows on monitor.

I believe the RAM is not compatible your asrock G41M-VS3, I think your RAM is the high density one, we know the high density RAM has problem with the old intel MB, at least from the manufacturer website your MB is not in the list http://twinmos.com/service-and-support/product-compatibility
Find other brand like G skill or Crucial

+1 Socket 775 doesn't take to hingh density Mem IC based sticks and all the newer lines of DRAM use the high density 4Gb chips/ICs). Something like the original Ripjaws (not the X or Z lines) from GSkill or their NT line uses the 2Gb (low denisty ICs

Need dual CHANNEL no single in 4gb .
Single play only 2gb

You don't have to use 2 sticks for dual channel mode, you will get lower performances if you use the single channel mode. And the MB can support up to 8GB (2X4GB), so you can use 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB single stick RAM for single channel.

The G41 chipset (Dual Core/Core 2 Duo/Core 2 Quad) boards require double-sided low density (2Rx8) 4GB modules. They WILL NOT post with single-sided high density (1Rx8) 4GB memory installed.

I have a G41M and a P45 board and they both require double-sided low density 4GB (2Rx8) memory modules or they will not post.

They also require 2GB modules to be double-sided (2Rx8) although sometimes will post and run with single-sided 2GB modules but this can cause memory corruption and errors. However 1GB modules can be single-sided or double-sided. Newer 2GB and 4GB memory modules are almost all single-sided and high density (1Rx8) as newer motherboards can support this chip configuration and it is cheaper to manufacture.

You can tell if a 4GB memory module is 2Rx8 because it has 2 rows of 8 chips (totaling 16 chips) = 8 on one side and 8 on the other side. A 1Rx8 module has 1 row of 8 chips on one side only, and nothing on the other side.
