F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL - 990xa-ud3 - fx 8320

[tekon]

Hello,

I have the F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL RAM memory, GA-990XA-UD3 (rev 3, bios updated) board and fx-8320 micro, when I turn on the computer the BIOS won't start, though when I add a third RAM module I manage to start it and initiate Windows, besides it says i have 10 gb of memory installed but only 6 I can work with

Compatibility?

What slots do you have them in 1-3 from CPU? if so try in 2-4..........if currently in 2-4 then try 1-3

[tekon]

Thanks tradesman but don´t work, I try both.

Another idea?

[Tradesman]

MAke sure you have latest BIOS..which you prob already did...next thought would be bent/broken pins on CPU

[tekon]

yes I`m sure that i have the lastest bios...the cpu i don´t think so....the pc start with other ram without problem

You have two kits? Can each kit work stable by itself?

Thank you

[tekon]

no, i have another ram that a friend gave me to prove it.

The ram of my friend (2gb)--> ok
The ram F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL don´t start(no bios, no video, no post, only fan of cpu and video card fan)
kit F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL + the ram of my friend --> -start but windows says (10gb, only 5.96 available)

Could run memtest on each stick to see if either is bad, suggest 4-5 passes should suffice

[tekon]

Sorry for delay...the test is ok...but the memtest stopped before the third pass.

Send them in for RMA exchange and a new kit should work great.

Thank you
