I can't get my ramm to read I have a set of 512 corsair vs400 dual channel ram I can only get 1 stick to read. It won't even boot up with another stick in there Curently I have 1 stick in bank b1
 
Everything set to auto?
Using dimm slots A1 & B1?

I'd try resetting CMOS.

It's possible you have a bad dimm too. Try testing in another PC if you can.
 
ok let me check the auto setings. They should be auto as all I changed in the bios was the raid settings boot order and removed that stupid logo screen at bootup. I have tried the dimms on another computer. As I have 2 sets of corsair vs400 I switched the ones from the other box, a cheap abatron mobo heck they work there.
 
1. Clear CMOS.
2. Boot the system with 1 stick in the 3rd slot from the CPU socket).
3. "Save Optimized Default" and exit. Shut down the system.
4. Wait 30 secs and inseart the other stick in the slot closest to the CPU socket.
5. In BIOS, again "Save Optimized Default" and reboot.

Will this work if I am running raid 0. Remember I must have the raid function checked in the bios, and that is not a bios defualt
 
yes you do this all in the BIOS, before you get in the OS. After the step 5, upon reboot, you set the RAID the way you want.
 
Ok I did it. I still couldn't get it to read. One thing though you said save optimized default. and I could only find setup ddefault. Is there something I'm missing. Thanks for your time on this issue

The "standard" set up for that MOBO is to disable: legacy USB, PEG link, Cool&Quiet, and any automatic overclocking. Some have reported "weird" problems from not using an XPsp2 install disk, mostly RAID issues.

 
My system runs fine. raid boots like a charm. I had a asus a8v before and had my gig of corsair running in dual channel mode no prob. I really would like to be able to do that with this new board too, HELP!!!! I'm thinking of buying a set of the xms3500ll that everyone says is made to run on this board. It's just that I just spent 175 on this board and 160 for the video card. I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to run the ram I already have.

Neither do I.
What does CPU-Z say your FSB, multi and divider are set to, and what is the SPD setting(s)?

 
Still can't get it to run. I have tryed many different bios settings. Man this sucks I have a dual channel mobo and I can't use it the way it should be used
