Ok so here it the build. It is for a friend and we are using older gear. The memory is suspect but never proven bad.
WD Caviar blue 250GB (New)
Intel QX6700 (taken out of working computer)
Intel 975XBX2 (New off EBay) newest BIOS and all chipset updates driver updates etc
OCZ ZT series PSU 750w (brand new) PSU have also tried another PSU and didn't help
Gskill DDR2 PC2 6400 CL 5-5-5-15 1.8v-2.0v 4x1GB
Windows XP Pro (all updates)
ATI 6770 (proven in another working Rig I have) newest drivers installed
Have also tried Nvidia GT6600 (newest drivers installed)
Thermaltake V3 case (New)
Lynksys wireless Network adapter
LG CD drive Sata (New) have also tried an old IDE disc drive which seems to work as well
Problem is it will only run on 1 single stick of ram. As soon as I add another or all 4 it will either blue screen or boot loop.
I CAN boot into bios and the MOBO is seeing all of the memory and it is showing 5-5-5-15 for the ram timings but it says it is running them at 5-5-5-14. I don't know if that is relevant.
I have tried manually setting the timings and even tried changing them to match the 5-5-5-14 which wouldn't do anything.
I have tried another Intel MOBO (Intel 965 mobo and it's the same story. No difference)
It will boot with any of the memory sticks in any of the slots, just not more then 1 at a time.
I tried to make a memtest USB Jump drive to boot from but it won't even boot from a USB or Disk drive with all of the ram on the MOBO.
I have done a few clean installs on the HD in case it got fouled up and corrupted a driver. No better.
I am at a loss. Nothing is showing up in the logs. As soon as I take out the extra sticks it will boot and run normally.
The CPU temps all look under 49C at all times. No idea what could be the problem. ESP since all the ram will work individually.
