  • Problem with 2 x2GB DDR2 800 kit

    My specs: GA-P45-DS3 Motherboard
    E6700
    3 x 1Gb PQ DDR2 800
    ATI X1950 Pro 512Mb
    2 x 250Gb Seagate HDD
    Avermedia 777 tuner
    Logiteck cordless Desktop
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit


    I purchased a 2 x 2Gb F2-6400CL5D-4GBPI DDR2 800 PC2-6400 2Gbx2 SPD-800 CL5-5-5-15 1.9v.

    I installed them, but the PC keeps rebooting after the Memory check, It says that the Memory is O.K. but wont post any further.

    I cannot even get into the BIOS as it reboots before my Logitech is picked up, so i cannot press the delete key to enter the BIOS.

    I reinstalled my old 3 x 1Gb PQ ram, entered the BIOS and set the DRAM Voltage to 1.9v manually. i also manually set the timmings to 5 - 5 - 5 - 15. I reinstalled the 2 x 2Gb kit and rebooted, The same thing happened...said O.K. on the Memory check and started rebooting constantley. I tried using just one of the 2Gb Modules in different (all) the Memory slots, but it was the same.

    I thought that i would simply remove my old RAM and Install the New RAM, But that did not happen

    Any help in rectifiying this would be greatley appreciated.

    Thank you
    John

    Has anyone any ideas as to what is wrong with my RAM ??. As i dont want to RMA them if theres nothing wrong with them, (just me not knowing what i'm doing.) I thought that all i had to do was replace my old DDR2 800 with the matched kit one,

    I have tried each module on its own, but still no luck.

    cheers

      would you like to update to the latest bios?
      we tested this combination and it works fine without this issue
      and please set performance Enhance to Standard, instead of Turbo
      thanks

              yes it still cover under our warranty. not all the PM965 supports DDR2 800. speed is control by bios. Dell can change to any speed they want. according to Dell, they made it to run 667 not 800
