I'm new to gigabyte and to ram/bios settings/timings. I've been combing these threads for the past two days, but I'm such a rookie. I'm trying to get my system to boot with 8gbs of ram. It boots fine with 4gbs( 2x2gb sticks), but when I try to use 4 x 2gb sticks I get the blue screen.
What I have:
GA-EP45-UD3R
Q9550
(2) G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
