Memmory Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.msi-microstar (More info?)

Hello to Everyone

I tried today to upgrade my pc memmory from 2x256 DDR 400, OCZ PC 4000
to 4x256 of the same brand and type.
My System now can run the 1 G of memmory but as a DDR 266 not even at
the defoult speed of 400 mhz.
My plan was to run this memmory like I use to with the 512 MB (2x256)
at a speed of 500 mhz.
The system consists of a P4 3Ghz Northwood, Msi 875P Neo
Motherboard(all bios updates),4X 256 OCZ PC 4000 Gold, Msi 6800 GT
256 DDR, 1 Seagate 160 G Sata, 1 Western Digital 120 G Sata, Sony
16x40 Dvd Player, LG GSA-4163B DVDR,
Zalman R-1 Watercooling, Sony HS-73.
Please HELP.
🙁

Give each stick a good hammering, at various settings, with MemTest86.
That should find any faults.

Did you check the specs on your board? There are some boards ( I do
not know if yours is one ) that will only run fully populated at a
lower bus speed. So if you had 2 x 512 you MIGHT be able to run at a
higher bus speed. The MSI memory specs on the website show your board
with a 2.4 Ghz P4 and 2 x 256mb OCZ 400 memory using slots 1 and 3 OR
2 and 4 but it doesn't list 1,2,3 and4. Strange!
