Hello all. I'm new to here but need help badly with a memory issule. I been searching the forums for awhile and can't figure out my problem. I even called intel and they had me send MB in and they send me a replacement and still does the same.
Ok I original had 4 512 mb memory sticks and worked great with a 3.0 ghz PD and then I wanted to upgrade my memory and process. I got a 2.6 ghz due core processor and 4 1 gig patriot memory 800mhz memory sticks all from tigerdirect.com ok I installed the processor and then installed all 4 gig of memory and the computer turns on but sticks and nothing on screen. I then take the sticks out and put the old 4 back in and nothing. So I put one of the old ones back in slot 1 and it boots. I can put that in any slot and it boots but not with 4. I then changed the setting under memory override to make it 667 mhz and change the volts to 1.8 and then I can get the new memory to run in slots 1 and 3 but still will not run an any other slots with it but will run single in any slots. If I cahnge any more settings and try to raise it to 800mhz on the overclock it will do the same thing and won't boot and I'll have to put the origianl 1 stick in to reset it. When I can get it to run with the 2 sticks, it runs very stable but very lost. Even intel can't help me.
Can anyone please help me on this issule. I use my computer for school work and I really need to start using it again. I really want the 4 gigs of memory to work.

Does the new memory take non standard voltages or timings?
You could try booting with just one of the new sticks of memory, changing all the voltages and timings to the correct amounts, then put the rest of the RAM in.
