965P-DS3 and XMS2 problem

[sleepwalkerbe]

Hi ,

i recently bought 2x2 gig of XMS2 (2.1V)
and when i try to boot the pc doesnt pass post (i dont get video output)

When i plug in my old XMS2 (1.8V 2x1gig) it works like a charm.

The entire system consists of :

e6320
965P-DS3 on F14
2x2gig XMS2
XFX 4770
Enermax 550W

all is running stock atm , doesnt even post :(

the things i tried :

- load failsafe settings
- manually set ram voltage to 2.1 and 2.2
- tried with a single stick of ram
- put single stick of ram in 4 sockets for ram

The motherboard seems perfectly fine , ram should be also as i got it out of a working pc.

Can someone please help

Pleas post a link to both old and new ram specs, or at least their part number.

Meanitime try loading optimized defaults then make the following changes in M.I.T:

DRAM Performance Control
Performance Enhance ------------------- : [Standard]
Extreme Memory Profile --- (X.M.P.) --- : [Disabled] <<< if don't have it ignore
System Memory Multiplier -------------- : [3.00A]

Try one 2GB stick first, if it boots please post a screen capture of MemSet main(click >>) and SPD(click spd) windows.
You can download MemSet from Latest Overclocking Programs, System Info, Benchmarking, & Stability Tools

old xms2 :
PC2-6400 1GB 5-5-5-18 1.9V 240pin DIMM

new xms2
CM2X2048-6400C4DHX
PC2-6400 2GB 4-4-4-12 2.1V

i'll try the settings you gave

EDIT :

those settings make it end up in a post loop.
No luck once again
