Ok, so I'm building a PC.... which I have done about 5 times before.
The motherboard is a Intel BOXDG965WHMKR LGA 775 Intel G965.
(http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813121052)
The RAM is G.SKILL 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800.
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231121)
Now, if you look at the specs, for whatever reason, the MB is particularly picky about the RAM you can put in it. It has to be 1.8V and have a timing of either 4-4-4 or 5-5-5. Ok, so I bought that RAM thinking I was ok, but I am having problems.
It says that it is Dual-Channel enabled, but that doesn't mean I HAVE to use it right? I only have 1 stick.... so I can't.
The problem is I get a 1 beep at post, which means DRAM refresh failure.
I get no video up on the screen whatsoever.
Am I just totally screwed, or what steps can I take to remedy this?
Thanks guys, in advance.
