I think it sounds a bit too technical for my basic knowledge, so i think i'll take it to someone who knows what their doing. I don't what to cause more problems!! Thanks for all the advice guy's/gal's!!!:)

Hi guy's thanks for all the replys since i was last on. From various opinions i have had they agree with Dalo, voltages have to be changed! I was hoping it was just plug and play. since i'm a complete novice i think i may leave it and sell the ram. Would the voltages still need changed if i were to get 2x2gig sticks of ram? Again thanks for the replys and your time!!!! craig

According to the motherboard handbook it supports upto 8gig.

Vista 32 bit and yes i know about only 3gig showing;)

Hi wolfey thanks for the quick reply! Just to clarify;- When i got the PC it had ram in slots 1 and 3, i obviously put the new ram in slots 2 and 4. After the PC wouldn't startup i took the old ram out of slots 1 and 3 and left the new ram in 2 and 4, and it's working fine. It's only when all 4 slots are taken up that the problem exists. I have already tried the old ram in slots 2 and 4 due to a problem with the pc when i got it, it worked fine!! The previous problem was due to an overclock which has now been removed! Does this help? Thanks again!

Hi guy's, my first post so please be gentle;). Can anyone on the following problem;- My PC came with 2x1 gig of 8500 ram, which i want to upgrade to 4x1gig. I have now bought the other 2 gig(same type,same make). I installed it into the two free slots and started up my pc. It wouldn't post past the the Asus load screen, and i can't get into the bios. It just hangs! I have taken out the 2 sticks that came with the PC to see if the new ram was faulty, but it booted up and is running fine. Can anyone give me a few pointers of things to try? Regards craig My specs;- Q6600 Asus P5N-D 2gig 8500 ram 8800GT Tagan 700
