I bought a second DIMM for my PC and once I installed it the PC wouldn't turn on. The DIMMS are identical, and each one works in either of my 2 slots, but if they're both installed then nothing works. My Motherboard is the crappy ASUS M2N MX SE Plus. Any ideas? I tried new BIOS, chipset and other drivers... nothing doing.
Thanks for the replies guy! I have 2 Kingston DDR2 1G 800MgHz sticks... the motherboard manual identifies both make and model as compatible, so it's no problem there.
I'm using WinXP Home SP2, and the DIMMS are exactly the same. At first I thought I was sold a bad DIMM so I went back to the store and was given a new one. After that didn't work, I went back and they replaced my older (Jan 2008) DIMM with one from the same batch as I bought last week; they gave me two brand new identical DIMMS. That didn't work either. It has to be another Motherboard related issue since I know both slots and both DIMMS work.
Looking in the BIOS and I can't really see anything that I could change. Any BIOS info would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks again!
