I have 2 sticks of Corsair XMS3200C2 512MB and they run fine one at a time in single-channel mode. They run fine together in single-channel mode. But trying to run both at the same time in dual channel and the computer turns on (all fans running) and just sits there and the monitor stays in sleep mode--no beeps or anything--just in a zombie-like state.
Anyone experienced this? It's a brand new board I just got from Newegg. I've changed power supplies, disconnected all MB accessories, IDE devices, etc. The only thing I haven't done is tried changing ram sticks. I might be able to get someone else to sticks his sticks in there and see if it does the same thing but I thought I'd ask here and find if anyone else has any problems like this.
I run dual channel just fine with my OCZ Gold PC-4000. Are you sure that it's not something else that's set in your BIOS that's not allowing you to post? If so, then your probably right, it sounds like you may have some flaky RAM, or at least one stick that's bad. Your also right in wanting to test another set of RAM to see if it's not something else (MB?). At least then you'd know if it's the RAM or not.
I've never heard of anyone else having this problem, except that their settings in the BIOS weren't right and it was the actual cause of the NO post issue.
I have this board and am quite new to all this stuff, I guess after reading this post I ask myself "Did I have to physically do something to get dual channel" ? I may have assumed it just is, how do you check that spec.?
