just got new a7n8x deluxe with 2700XP and AIW 9700Pro, got 2 512mb 2700 Kingston simms and it will not stay stable very long with both installed . Doesnt matter what slots i use. If i just put one it it runs much more stable but still get errors on occasion. Any ideas? Is this memory not supported? what memory is? any help appreciated

thanks

it might be the one stick of memory?

What i mean is one stick could be bad?

You put one it and it works, trade it out , does the other one work by itself?

The blue slots are for PC3200, try putting in that black(3rd i think) slot.

Thats all i know, also try updating your bios too (if you havnt already)

I just ordered my mobo and its not here yst so i cant help more yet :)

both seem to work ok individually in black slot, put them in others get weird problems and crashes, i thought they were all 2700 compatible? maybe that is the problem since they are both 2700 memory? any other ideas

?

What timings are you running? Try the changing to the rated timings, if that doesn't work try running both your CPU and memory under the "Optimal" setting. I'd also grab memtest86 and make sure the memory isn't at fault.

The blue slots are not for PC3200, its to diferentiate between the two data channels. And yeah, run memtest and see if one of the sticks is bad, if not then look at the timings you are running.
