dual channel memory problem

[dan the acid man]

hold your horses, have you tried each module on its own one at a time to establish if it is faulty? obviously you'll need to do this to find out which stick isn't working properly.

also make sure you're fitting it into the correct slots on your board, as most will only accept dual channel memory in certain slots, it will tell you which in your motherboards manual

yeah tried every possible configuration.
each module works on its own however.
problem comes when installed together.

doubt its the memory that's at fault then, have you tried resetting the bios?

i havnt no, how do i do it?

usually you have to switch a jumper or switch over on the board whilst your pc isn't switched on, your motherboard manual will tell you what to do and where the switch/jumper is

It could still, very easilly, be a bad chip. A bad chip run by itself may not cause the same issues as a bad chip run in tandem with a good one. Go to this site and download memtest86.

Snag the ISO image one to make a bootable CD if you can. Run the tests on each chip in the machine one at a time, not in tandem. If one reports errors, there's your issue.
