[SOLVED] PC Posts with 1 stick, not with 2?

astralproxy · 10-16-2007, 10:06 PM

My system specs (nothing OC'd):
Mobo: ECS C19-A SLI (automatic) V1.0A, FSB 1066
GPU: Gigabyte GV-3D1-7950-RH 7950 GX2
- main card (w/ connectors): BIOS v. 5.71.22.24.05
- 2nd card: BIOS v. 5.71.22.24.06 (different?)
CPU: Pentium D 960 3.6 GHz
RAM: Dual-Channel Patriot DDR2 667 (2x1 GB)
Power: 550 W (came w/ case)

The problem:
My computer has been running fine, then today I turned it on and just heard fans for a minute with nothing appearing on the screen or even a POSt beep. So, I took out both sticks of RAM and put ONE back in. Everything ran fine. I checked the BIOS and made sure everything was set to default. Then, I swapped out the RAM for the other stick, and everything came on and worked fine again. Finally, I put both sticks in (trying different slot combinations) and nothing happens each time.

Solutions?

All I had to do was remove my video card AND the ram, then put them all back in.
