I have purchased a 2Gb kit on Ebay( 2 x 1GB DIMMs). When both DIMMs installed system beeps on power on probably indicating RAM failure. With 1 x 1GB in slot 1 system boots ok. With same 1 x 1GB in slot 2 system boots ok. With the other 1 x 1GB the system will boot up ok in slot 1 or slot 2.
When both 1 x 1GB DIMMs are installed in slots 1 and 2 the system fails to boot.
On the Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M MoBo I have, there are only 2 memory slots.
It is Award Software BIOS & I cant find any reference to dual channel vs single channel memory anywhere in the bios pages.
As both slots 1 & 2 will work independently the fault is not the MoBo. Both new 1 x 1GB DIMMs will work independently in either slot 1 or slot 2 so the DIMMs are proving ok.
Somehow I need to switch to dual channel memory instead of single channel.
Any Ideas folks?
