Motherboard: ASRock P45TS
CPU: X5450, and Q6600 (same problem with both of them, just thought it might be the Xeon)
So I can boot no issue with DDR2 - 667.. I upgraded to t he X5450, I found I couldn't overclock at all without pushing the ram into instability.
So I bought 4 new Kingston KVR800D2N6/2G as they are listed as compatible with my motherboard on the ASRock website. With just my hard drive, CPU and one of these ram sticks I get a 3-short beep code, saying no ram. I am certain it is fully and properly seated.
With one old DDR2 - 667 chip and one of these Kingston chips it will boot, but will only detect the 667 chip. It will simply ignore/not detect any other chips.
I have tried to no avail, reset CMOS, updated bios, increasing ram voltage to 1.85/2.0 instead of auto. Enabled memory remap feature. Enabled Memory Flexibility. The Kingston data sheet leads me to believe all the timings are within tolerance, and the voltage only needs to be 1.8.
Is there something obvious I am missing here! It just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
