Hi:
I have been trying to get this memory to run on my old board. I have tried only using one stick, and also lowering speed to 1066
When the thing comes on the first thing I see is a message about how my memory is not working due to overclocking, which I don't do. So that I am not allowed to get to BIOS until I press a certain key. When the computer comes on I get a really long beep and then a longish short beep then the message. When I get to the BIOS I see that the memory speed has defaulted back to 1333. I also am using the timings as shown on the memory stick.
I have a GSKILL 8GB memory set in unganged mode that works well and wanted a little more room so I bought this Aegis. No gaming, overclocking, etc. Just photoshop and MS Office. I got spoiled with plug and play. Anyway, this Aegis memory is the only 16Gb I could find on the GSKILL configurator page. Gigabyte does not have this as one of their approved In fact the memory I have now was taken off the approved list the day after I bought it. .
I hate to send this back if it is not necessary but would like to get the show on the road, so to speak. So I might have to. Any advice? And Thanks for being here whether we get it going or not. I have read a lot of posts here and am only more confused than when I got here but hopefully I'll get the hang of it.
