Two sticks dont work.

migsb · 11-12-2007, 06:24 AM

Hi,
I have been having system crashes when I use both sticks of Corsair ddr 2 /667. When I use either stick separately they work fine,but when they are both slotted into my pc then a crash will eventually occur. I have tested them and each stick is fine. Only when they are both used together do I have the problems. My mother board.....Asrock 4 dual core Vsta is able to support 2gb or ram but does not like them working together for some strange reason. Can anybody give me any advice on what the problem may be? Thanks.

How do I tell what they are and how do I change them if I need to?

when you start the pc hit delete key, F1 or F2 depending on make; BIOS have different settings but default is usually ok but some performance ram don't work well on default and you may need performance settings.
