Hi all,
system:
asus a7v kt133 latest bios update
1Ghz thunderbird
256Mb133Mhz
windows98
I recently purchased another 256Mb133Mhz of sdram. I now have 2 256Mb sticks. Both are Micron and have part#48lc16m8a2 75E. I cannot seem to get both sticks to work in my mobo. I can put one stick in OR the other and no crashes or fatal exceptions. However, if I put both in for 512Mb, I get fatal exception and page fault errors from every program I try to run including windows itself. I have run a memory test program with each stick separetely, and with both installed. Each stick passes with no errors separetely but with both installed, the memory test fails every address on each sdram.
I have tried using spd in auto and manually set to 3-3-3 to no avail and the bios is set to 133Mhz for the sdram. I have read a post on asus NetQ memory forum about another person having the same problem but no replies to the post were made by anyone. The asus manual and website have no incompatiblities listed other than the mobo cant use sdram with more than 18 chips, mine has 16. Has anyone come accross this problem with this mobo or has any suggestions? Thanx in advance.

I have fooled around with settings in bios, but still no luck. I have found one interesting thing though. The memory tester fails at 384MB now on all tests. So one side of the second stick of sdram is not working. But i can swap the 2 sticks around and put them in any of the 3 dimm slots with the same results. This has to be a mobo or bios problem.
