Ok, here's the scoup:
I purchased a total of 4GB of Super Talent DDR2-800 memory. The company's model number for that RAM is T800UX2GC4 PC6400 with capable 4-4-3-8 timings.
Here is the problem. When I have two sticks installed for 2GB total, the system works just fine. I have had it powered up running Windows Vista 32bit for 2 weeks without a problem. Now this is true for both pairs of RAM, alone they have no problems and it even boots up if I pair them both in the channel B slots. The problem comes when I try to put all 4 sticks in at once. Now doing this with auto timings in the BIOS the PC posts, then immidiately after the post beep, it resets and then posts again, and then resets. It continues to do this untill I shut it down.
I have tried both pairs of memory alone and in different slots and oddly enough, I can get the system up and running stable every time. It's when I try to put in all 4 sticks that I cannot get anything running.
I tried playing with the memory votage before, setting it to 2.2V and to 2.1V with the 4-4-3-8 timings. This did not work. Then I upped the NB voltage to about 1.5V and was able to post and get into the BIOS, but about 2 minutes later it crashed again. I tried a NB voltage of 1.8V, but that was way to high and the system would not even post. Had to reset the CMOS after that.
Unfortunately I was not writing down what I was doing with the results, but I did get it to post and not reset with all 4 sticks in, but then Vista would not boot up. It would go past that loading bar you initially get with Vista, and then froze right before the welcome chime.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I know this ram is not listed in QVL for the motherbaord, but slower Super Talent memory is. I have been reading that these Striker Extreme boards are really finnicky with memory choices, but I was hoping mabey someone else out there had the same problem and was able to get by it.
Thanks all,
