Hope the default language settings are set properly or you will be getting verbal POST errors in Taiwanese. :p:

How about some photos of the mobo and connectors at the back - might be able to spot something!

Re: Building my own PC

Hmm, sounds a bit fishy to me.

Now you know that everything does work might be worth trying a single stick in b1 and then the two sticks in a1 / b1. Manual def says a1 / b1 are the ones to use for a two stick config.

Re: Building my own PC

As usual the manual isn't plain,it says memory should be installed in black slots for single channel but im guessing that means only 1 stick cuz a bit further down it says ,Pair of moduals into either slot.I imagine 2 sticks in black should do dual channel,fingers crossed :D

Just think, in about 20 minutes, you can sit back with a nice cool drink and relax whilst it all formats and installs.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 14:34.
