I found a guide for my memory/mobo combination but when I followed the settings I was not able to boot, the board hangs up on the ASUS splash screen ( http://gskill.us/forum/archive/index.php?t-1392.html ). Most times I cannot even get to the bios, the screen just hands at the ASUS logo.
I just upgraded from an old Athlon X2 (AM2) to an Athlon II x4 635 (AM3) processor. I installed the latest bios from the ASUS website and last night I was able to boot and run Windows 7 as I had been (just a swap out of the processor and heatsink/fan and things worked). Well, tonight I tried to install an additional 4 GB of RAM (same F2-8500CL5D-4GBPQ) and that is when the problems started to arise. Blue screens and the hang up during boot up.
I'm back to trying to get things running again at 4GB, using the information found in the post I mentioned above. I believe last night when things were running the DRAM Frequency was set at 800, which was a limitation of my old processor. I have a stick of RAM in both yellow slots and am trying to go with 1067 Mhz but am not able to boot.
I'm stuck and hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. I'm hoping to get the 4GB working but I'd really like to use the full 8GB that I have (first things first though...( Thanks for any help.
