I purchased a new K8N Neo Platinum and installed an AMD 3200+, ATI Radeon
Saphire 9600xt 250 meg graphics card and two 512 PQI 3200 - 1024DAH memory
(512 meg dual channel PC3200 2.5-3-3-7).

Everything installed perfectly with the motherboard set at default. Then I
changed the memory timing from auto to 1T and it would not boot. Changed
back to Auto and 2T and still no boot. Use one memory and it boots fine
using either piece by itself, - back to both and no boot. Tried every
combination of memory slots with still no boot. Now the MB only works with
one in a slot.

What do you think happened?

Is there any setting I can use to get it back to working with both memory
modules in the MB?


Thanks in advance.

Try clearing the BIOS and starting again...
