I installed a 1 gb stick of OCZ DDR yesterday. I already had 2 512 mb sticks in. I put the 1 gb stick into the blue slot and moved the 512 sticks to the two yellow slots. I try starting it up and it won't post. I tried every combination I can think of, but it will not post. Even putting just the old memory in will not post. I tried clearing the CMOS and that didn't work. I'm not getting any beeping or voice messages, but I'm not 100% sure the speaker is plugged in. I forgot to check that last night. Everything worked fine before adding the new memory. Any thoughts?
Asus K8v se deluxe
Athlon 64 3200
1 gb OCZ DDR 3200
2 512 mb OCZ DDR 3500
(I'm not sure why I bought the 3500 sticks; maybe I was planning on doing some overclocking. I built this rig so long ago I don't remember now)
update: Well I took out the motherboard and didn't see any damage. I put it back in with nothing plugged in except the processor and video card and still got nothing. Then I tried the 1 gig stick and it booted up. I think just unplugging the power supply connections from the motherboard is what fixed it.
I tried the 1 gig and a 512 stick and that worked too. But all three sticks will not work. I know it is not the stick; I swapped the 512 sticks in the second slot and it works. So it seems like my third slot is not working. I tried updating the bios, but that didn't help. So the slot never worked or just stopped working recently. Has anyone heard of this problem? It would be nice if I could get it working and have 2 gigs like I planned, but 1.5 gigs is good enough.
