As some of you maybe remember,  i had a problem with new parts not booting.

C2D E6600
P5w dh deluxe
2gb ocz PC6400 cas4

I RMA'ed all the parts at once,  so they could see what the problem was.
It turned out the problem was just the one thing i thought was ok... the RAM was incompatible with this board.
So now i have to choose another kit,  which one should i get?
I paid 300 euros for the the ones i own now,  and I'm willing to spend a few more bucks on if they are faster or more reliable and most important compatible this mobo.

I thought it sounded like RAM when you asked before.

It's almost certainly a RAM issue. I wouldn't try RMAing the MB till you have checked out your RAM properly. Try using just one stick, it could be a dual channel issue.
I had a similar problem before, the RAM should've worked but just didn't. This was with Corsair XMS stuff in an A8N-SLI SE, the funny thing was it worked fine in my A8N-SLI Deluxe, so we just switched RAM. I didn't care I ended up with brand new RAM with the same specs from an equally reputable manufacturer.

I'm getting my new computer tonight in a few hours.

I have the exact same Motherboard as you.

I'm pretty sure I ordered TWIN2X2048-6400 2x1GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM for the board... I don't have the Sheet with all the part names on it right now.

I was originally gonna go with Corsair VS2GBKIT667D2 2GB Kit 2x1GB DDR2 667Mhz RAM.

It seems that the board can be picky about the ram...

I'll let you know how it runs when I get my computer tonight.

If you have a pc that is not custom built e.g. Dell, HP then go to www.crucial.com and it will tell you the exact type of memory that you need for you pc.

Isn't the RAM voltage the main problem with OCZ RAM?


I would either go for:

Kingston HyperX DIMM SLI Kit 2048MB PC2-6400U CL4-4-4-12 (DDR2-800)
or:
Corsair XMS2 DIMM Kit 2048MB PC2-6400U CL4-4-4-12 (DDR2-800)
or:
GeIL Dual Channel DDR2 Kit 2048MB PC2-6400U CL4-4-4-12 (DDR2-800)
