Topic: pa help po about RAM

[tiberionx]

ganito po kasi ..

So i'm installing two 2GB ram on my asus P5N-MX, but whenever i do so, i always freeze and eventually crash the system. so i tried using only one of each on each slot and seems to be working fine.

it also says i can only use 3.25 GB of ram when i have both sticks installed

ram im installing are 2 800 mhz pc26400 ddr2

i am also running a 64-bit win 7

do i need to do something else to make this work?

sa aking masusing pag sisiyasat nabasa ko to. from asus website ng board mo.

***When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended.

sir naka win7 64 bit po ako, nakasaad po sa unang post ko

[Core2_i7]

maybe the problem's either on the mobo or the ram, if both still have warranties might as well replace it

[bakekong12345678]

baka may compatibily issues ang dalawa since nasabi mo na ok sila pareho kung magisang stick na pagaganahin mo.

Or maybe not enough voltage for your 2 ram sticks.

sir magkaiba ba ung RAM na ginagamit mo? paka di magkapareho ng speeed ung ram mo kaya ganun

[bodieph]

yung sa 3.25 lang nakikita mong usable. may separate video card ka ba? or onboard video? if onboard video, its normal

dun naman sa hindi magwork yung dalawa pag sabay. nung natry mo isa lang, did you try on both slots? baka yung isang slot ang may problem

or more commonly, its a compatibility issue between the two ram modules

[tiberionx]

mga sir nakalgay sa post ko na pareho yung dalawang ram module na iniinstall ko tinry ko lang ng tig isa on each slot ok naman. nakakapraning na nga, ayaw talaga gumana ng sabay

mejo luma na tong mobo ko mga 2 years na

tinignan ko naman sa asus and supported naman sha

[tiberionx]

sana pwede mag edit ng post ...

anyway, im also using a different power supply, hindi yung kasama ng tower, it gives me more wattage, nakalimutan ko lang yung tatak since i bought it a year ago i think,

im also using a nvidia 8600 GT for my video card

Hi,

here's the recommended upgrade.

4GB kit (2GBx2) 
DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64 •   â€¢  Part #: CT2KIT25664AA667

am im installing are 2 800 mhz pc26400 ddr2

pc2-6400 is beyond on the recommended memory upgrade for P5N-MX.

Hope this could resolve your current issue.

your mobo is more or less the same as my desktop pc assembled last 2007.  It's still good up to now.  I used only 1 stick 2g ram. 

I also had the same problem before when i installed 2 pieces 1g ram sticks even if it both have the same specs.

So use only 1 stick, it does not matter what module you use.

[tiberionx]

yeah chineck ko ulit sa asus.com kelangan ko i OC yung cpu to use the 800mhz sticks properly pero ayaw ko naman mag OC

so try ko UC yung ram sa bios, ang hirap, lagi ako long beep, had to reset the cmos several times

so ginamit ko na lang yung luma ko na 1 GB and yung isang bagong 2GB since if i use both 2 GB sticks 3.25 lang din naman ang usable haha

so far wala pang problema, mga 3 days ko na sha gamit maghapon

salamat sa mga sagot ninyo
