And I thought I did my homework before buying parts... specifically, I saw many ppl running DS3 with PQI Turbo-667, bragging about great overclocks, etc. Well, my DS3 refuses to boot with this RAM unless I bump the voltage to 2.4
. The RAM simply cannot take it and about 15-25 minutes after bootup I get black screens, random reboots, etc. (Not that I stubbornly try to run the comp like that, but it happened a couple of times). I updated from F4 bios to the F7.
Can those of you with the same mobo+RAM combo post your bios version and your exact mem settings? I doubt I'm missing anything, but who knows. I'm quite desperate at this point... this has been going on for more than a month now, first mobo was DOA, then replacement not POSTing--had to order cheap 256mb Corsair stick (which ironically is flawlessly running as I type this--it also took 2.4V without flinching), but it seems that the problem is deeper than just adjusting the voltage.
Advice on what to exchange, RAM or mobo, and to what other brand, are also welcome, cause I have a bad feeling that I won't get this combo to work
