Hi guys
I recently just put together a system. Specs are as follows:
-Asus P5Q PRO
-Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66
-Gigabyte 1GB 9400GT
-(2x) Kingston HyperX 2GB 1066 DDR2 RAM
-Corsair HX620W PSU
-WD 320GB HDD
I've got everything up and running fine (I'm on it as I type) but there is just one problem.
When I have the two RAM sticks in slots A2 and B2 (both black slots), my computer recognizes both of them and it runs at 3.35GB (due to 32bit Vista). However, when I have the RAM sticks in slot A1 and B1 (both yellow slots) my computer only recognizes one stick which makes my system only run at 2GB. I originally thought there was a problem with one of my RAM sticks but I tried running my system on just the one 2GB stick in slot A1, and my system booted up however did not run anything; no BIOS, no OS, nothing. Screen was just blank. I then tried the same stick in A2 and my system was running and it showed up as 2GB ram.
My question is; could it be a faulty A1 slot or is there something I'm not doing relating to what slots to put the sticks in or settings in BIOS?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve.
