4 stick of memory = no boot....

SimplyMari · 11-24-2008, 01:25 PM

Let me start by telling you what i have
Mobo = xfx nForce 780i SLI
Vcard: xfx Geforce 8800 GTS AD edition
CPU = Q6600 Quad
PS = 750 watts
Memory = OCZ Flex XLC DDR2 1200 (pc2 9600) 4 x 1GB sticks
OS = Win XP Pro w/SP3 (32 bit)

My problem is that I can run it with no issues as long as I use 3 sticks, the minute I put in a 4 stick I cant boot due to a c1 error..

any help will be greatly appreciated

What voltage are you running the sticks at and what voltage are the sticks rated for?
You may have to bump the voltage up .1 or .2 when using 4 sticks.

I tried running them as high as 2.200 the nforce SPP set at 1.45 with timings of 5-5-5-18 a CMD of 2T and in advance memory settings trc of 31 and a Mem DDR MHz of 800 (all info I have found from trying to research on my own) they supposedly run 2.100 according to the sticker ont them
But this does not work

Wish I could say I haven't seen it before but I have, The best solution I've found is to use 2x 2gig sticks the only other is to keep trying different brands until you find 1 that works I had those boards work with Corsair on one and then not the next one.
