When I have two 1GB sticks of Kingston memory (KHX6400D2LLK2/2GN)(PC2-6400 CL4 240-Pin DIMM) installed, PC powers off automatically when I do a shutdown.
When I have four 1GB sticks of above Kingston memory installed, PC will not automatically power off when I do a shutdown. Shutdown process appears to complete OK, but power continues and PC hangs. I then have to push power button on front of PC to power off.
All 4 memory sticks are same KINGSTON model as noted above: KHX6400D2LLK2/2GN (PC2-6400 CL4 240-Pin DIMM). These sticks are supposed to be compatible with motherboard.
I have tried reseating memory, switching sticks between DIMM slots, clearing CMOS, reinstalling F4 bios, unplugging/uninstalling and reinstalling/replugging in removable hardware and cables, and reinstalling VISTA 32 bit version 3 times.
With either 2 sticks or 4 sticks installed, system boots fine and shows either 2GB or 3.25GB of RAM available and Installed Memory either 2000MB (2 sticks) or 4095MB (4sticks). I have tried pairing all 4 memory sticks in a 2GB / 2 DIMM configuration. All 4 worked fine in that configuration and system powered off automatically when shutdown. So I don't believe it's an issue of bad memory.
During post with all 4 sticks installed, one message that appears:
"SLI-Ready Memory Detected-Disable, 4 DIMMS Not Supported"
What exactly does this message mean? Is it related to my powerdown problem with four 1GB sticks installed? Can it be corrected with a bios setting? I looked for a DIMM bios parameter I could change, but other than voltage options, I didn't see anything. Perhaps I missed something. A good number of bios settings are still a mystery to me.
Yes, I can run PC on 2GB of memory, but would rather have system automatically power off with all four KINGSTON 1GB sticks installed, without me having to push front power switch.
