Last night I did a rebuild. We misread the board/manual and put the two memory sticks on the same channel. We were getting blue screens and cold not figure it out. I reread the manual this morning and I put them on separate channels and it seems to be working but now with another problem.

It seems to be posting saying it's running single channel DDR333. Did our putting the memory in the same channel fry something? Settings problem?

Here is what I added last night. Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks!

sounds like a bad stick of memory. Try one at a time and run memtest86.

UPDATE

There is a blurb in the manual that says If you are installing more than on double rank DDR400, the maximum DRAM speed will automatically be limited to the speed of DDR333. However, the BIOS provides the option of manually adjusting the speed to DDR400 by selecting "200" in hte "Max Memclock(Mhz) field.
I did this and now it's posting as single channel DDR400. Speed is right but should I be concerned that it's not saying dual channel?
