GA-K8NS Pro Memory Problem

[JrDave2304]

Hello, I am having a very strange (well to me anyways) problem with the memory in my Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro mobo. I have 2x512 Dual Channel Geil Golden Dragon PC3200 400MHz DDR, but the problem is that my computer won't run with both sticks in. Right now i'm running one of the sticks with no problem at all, but if I put the oher one in my system doesnt even boot up. Itll start, then freeze on the very first screen, and I cant even get to the BIOS. I have the F4 version of the BIOS, so I dont know what it could be. Does anyone have a clue as to why I cant run both sticks? It sucks having 1G of memory and being only able to run 512MB!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

edit: ok so after reading through the other topic on this mobo I see it isn't just me with this problem, has anyone figured out a way to make it work with two sticks??

so far some of us can run it in dual chanell but only on 333. To get in to BIOS leave 1 stick, reboot, once in BIOS hit ctrl and F1, this will bring extra options, there you can change from 400-333.

is mine. im just seeing if anyone has figured out any BIOS settings that will allow me to run the 2 together.

edit: hmmm, i found this on the gigabyte website under FAQ for this board.
