got another 2gb of ram today to put into channel 2 on my motherboard. however when i turn my pc on it doesnt load on the screen. take the ram out and its fine....theyr the different makes of ram but the same CAS latency and speed. do i need to set my BIOS back to default, seeing as ive changed them to turn my original ram speed, or is it something else?

Don't tell me you're on an nForce chipset...
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I have an ASUS P5N32-E SLI, 680i chipset, I have 4x 1gb sticks in and it has worked for over a year.

I've heard so many bad things about nforce, although it's supposed to be so great.

Only for SLI. nForce has got so many bugs.

In my experience, and I don't know if this is representative of the norm, the 680i has managed to avoid many of the memory problems that plague nForce chipsets, particularly Asus ones.

I've never encountered a 680i chipset with memory issues, whilst virtually every 650i I've ever used crumbles when pushed with all four RAM slots full. I have yet to play with the nForce 7 stuff, but memory problems have been an issue with nVidia chipsets for ages. Though despite a number of awkward buggy problems they are still great enthusiast chipsets (not something I'd run a critical system on though, tbh).

Click the memory tab and tell me what it says it's running at.

same mobo. I can only run 4x1GB @1066MHz on an old BIOS (1002) though. Also I had to bump the NB voltage by .1V. And without a fan on the NB the think overheats and crashes. woot

While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
