I have recently bought a new 512MB DDR400 PC3200 (elixir brand) stick for my pc to go with an existing 512Mb DDR400 PC3200 stick already installed.
I have an epox 8RDA+ motherboard with 3 DIMMs and the manual states that for 2 sticks of 64-bit memory they should be installed in DIMM#2 & 3 and for 2 sticks of 128-bit memory they should be installed in DIMM#1&2 or 1&3.
I have tried several conbinations as I'm not sure if the memory is 64-bit or 128-bit and all that happens is either the pc doesn't boot at all, or it boots to the desktop and then reloads.
Could this be incompatability between memory brands?
Any other ideas?
Cheers
