I just switched the memory settings on my other computer and now sys won't start.

2x 1gb Crucial Ballistix 3-3-3-12 pc5300 ddr2 667

The setting were 5-5-5-15 in the Bios, I switched to 3-3-3-12 and now it gives the 3 beeps meaning there is no memory. The system will not start.

What to do?

Thanks

It worked fine, thank you. I knew how to do that, I just was'nt sure if that was what I had to do. I just don't understand why those ram timings did'nt work. That's what the ram is set to run for. I would'nt have bought that expensive ram if I knew my Intel MB could'nt run it.
I had a similar problem with my last setup where I had to decrease the ram timings because a certain game (Guild Wars) kept freezing.
Intel 865PERL w/ 2x512 Mushkin 2-3-2 Pc3200 (had to set it at 3-3-3 to correct the problem)

Thanks again.

I believe the voltage is currently set at 1.8 What would be sufficient for this ram without killing it and enough without having to reset the bios again?? The ram's listed for 1.8-1.9v on Crucial's website.
