mb:m2n dh 430mcp cpu amd athlon 4400+ was using 2 gigs 2x1 (667mhz) of ram. psu -some cheap stupid brand So its like this. My old pc suddenly started acting weird. About some time ago i needed to remove one memory stick. When I returned it back it wouldnt post. After copple of bios resets and reconecting cables it booted in windows where i noticed that only 1 gig of ram was found. Thought I somehow damaged the one stick of ram and removed it and it was working fine with 1 stick. Now copple of days ago i bought new ddr2 2x1 gigs. Now the problem is this- AMD boards have the dual chanel on slots 1-2 and 3-4 (intel is 1-3and 2-4) when i put the ram in slots 1 and 2 for dual chanel it doesnt boot to windows (these are same ram modules)i get post i go to bios it recognizes the memory, but when it comes to booting only a blinking arrow is on the screen, but when i put the ram on slots 1 and 3 (Not in dual chanel)it boots fine. I tried only 1 stick on every slot it boots fine on slots 1 and 3 but no boot on 2 and 4, (on slots 2 and 4 not even post). Now even werider is that the ram that i tought i damaged i tried it again and it works,but still no matter how i combine all the moules i get only boot on slots 1and 3. My question is did i somehow damaged the ram slots or is it some power defecency for the slots or maybe smthing else Again- slots 1 and 2 (dual chanel) post but no boot slotss2 and 4 no post no boot slots 1 and 3 (non dual chanel) post and boot -works fine slots 1 and 2 and 3 post but no boot (all ram recognized in bios) slot 1-post and boot slot 2-no post no boot slot 3 post and boot slot 4 no post no boot PLS HELP! thank you and sorry for my complicated explaining and one more thing for testing the dual chanel i am using the same sticks as before, where they were working fine. 1 by 1 they are both ok but in dual chanel they dont work now-they were working before
