What WHODAT is telling you may very well be the solution to your problem

look in your mobo manual / see if there is a QVL list (qualified vendor list) if your ram is not on the list / then the mobo maker has not tested the stick model for compatibility with your mobo / sometimes maybe even most of the time ???? the non-listed sticks will work but many times they will not work on the mobo. If you wish to verify this / read thru the posts on the "who has a working P4C800-E" there is a poster in there that worked for days trying to fire up his system only to find out a memory model swap cured the problem.

You may be able to contact the manufacturer and swap the ones you have for modules that will work in your board / this problem is common as hell !!! why do you think the memory companies have all spent the money to have a web page designed and deployed for "compatabilty chart"

thats why i always suggest posters buy memory from OCZ or crucial or micron they will do what they have to do to keep swapping stick with you until you get one that works
