Hi Motherboard Forum!

Got a small issue. I have 2 I-RAMs that were delivered yesturday. I put the ram in and tried to install them in my PC. The motherboard i have is a Asus A8N32-Deluxe. It seems that the 2 I-RAMs are to long and the bulky batter gets in the way of SATA 2 and SATA 4 connectors. So, i tried to take the hard drive that was connected to SATA 2 and connect it to the Silicon Image SATA port thats right next to the 16x PCI-E slot. I turned the PC on and the PC kept trying to boot into Windows however it instead just kept restarting. I then disabled the silicon image chip in the BIOS and the PC worked fine. In the BIOS when the silicon image chip was enabled, it was set to SATA. I also tried to get into Safe Mode with it enabled and even safe mode kept rebooting.

I'm wondering if there is a known issue with this w/ other people??

Thanks for reading!
