Question Asus H61M-C memory problem

[Cornel ZAR]

OK lets start here.. I have an ASUS H61M-C motherboard with 2 ram slots DRAM 1 AND 2 when I put 1 4GB Ram in the A slot it boots up... but when I insert the second 4GB in slot B it doesnt boot up....

But... when i disable the boot for slot B... it boots up and picks up the 4GB in slot B (Says usable 4GB)

but when i activate both slots it doesnt boot up again??? any help

With single RAM in slot B, does it work?

What do you mean by "when i disable the boot for slot B "?
Is this a 2x4GB RAM kit that you purchased or two 4GB RAM modules that you purchased separately? If purchased separately, what are the individual RAM model numbers?

If each RAM module works separately, but not together, then it sounds like a RAM incompatibility with each other.

when i disable slot B

My bios picks up the Ram its Corsiar 4 Gb 1600mhz

Yes it does bro

How do you disable slot B?

How do you disable slot B?

I go into my Bios to DRAM timing then disable DRAM 02

 

[Cornel ZAR]

then I disable it form here then it boots up and it picks up the Ram in Slot B but its not uselable

I wasn't aware of this option. However, what happens if DRAM02 enabled and single stick installed in the 02 slot (no stick in 01), does the system run?

no it doesnt boot up

I have tried every thing i have cleaned it lowered the voltages

 

[alexoiu]

I suggest removing the CPU and posting here a picture of the CPU socket.

So again, did you purchase a 2x4GB RAM Kit or did you purchase them separately?

Sorry, I purchased them separately

 

[Cornel ZAR]

its a Socket 1155 and none of the pins are bent

 

[alexoiu]

Can you post a picture of it, though? I see no other reason for one RAM slot not working at all.

What is the speed of each RAM module you purchased?

In BIOS under AI Tweaker --> Memory Frequency, does it allow you to set each slot manually or does it affect both slots simultaneously? I'm assuming that it's currently set to AUTO. What happens if you manually set it to something like DDR3-800?

Interchange the RAM by using only 1 ram at a time, make sure both of them are working. It can be a bad RAM or incompatible RAMs. You should be buying it in a 4x2 kit just to make sure it's the exact identical and factory tested..

You can also try cleaning the ram's gold pin with an eraser just to make sure.
