I Could Really Use Some Help

[Ntran]

Been working on this issue the entire day and cannot not come up with anything. I just bought an ASRock 970 Extreme4 mobo and I can't get it to work with my 16GB (4x4GB) Crucial Ballistix Sport Low-Profile RAM. I haven't had any problems with the RAM with my old mobo (gigabyte P55M-UD2) and I've re-tested (Memtest) the RAM with the old mobo and no errors were found. And what's even more strange is I've ran my old RAM kit, G. Skill 4GB (2x2GB), on the new mobo and didn't have any problems. There's only problems (no post with a debug code indicating memory problem) with I try to use the ballistix kit with the ASRock mobo. BTW along with the mobo I have an FX-6300, HD 7850, a seagate momentus xt 500gb and a OCZ 700watt PSU.

 

 

Any suggestion would greatly be appreciated.

Test each slot with each stick. It might be one of the slots not working correctly or at all.

And what do you mean with 'problems'? What does the computer do, what doesn't it do? Be specific.

_{I've actually already test all four slots with the old G. Skill kit and have had no problems. If I install the Crucial RAM, even with just one stick, the system refuse to POST with the debug code indicates a problem with memory. Is it possible the motherboard and RAM are just not compatible? All of the tests I have done indicates that separately the RAM and the mobo are in working condition.}

Do you have something like a MemOK butting on that motherboard? If so, try using it.

 

Also what spec is the memory you are trying to use and the memory you used before? Talking about timings and frequency.

Bios updated?

maybe you can set the memory timing/ voltage manually? use your gskill memory to boot up, go into bios and set timings for crucial.

Bios updated?

On that note: have you tried clearing the CMOS?
