| 8RDA RAM Problem Hey all. I just built my new rig: Epox 8RDA XP 2200+ 2*256mb 2100 generic DDR (CAS 2.5) The comp will post fine with one stick of RAM in the first dimm slot. When I try to put the second in either the 2nd or 3rd slots the comp wont post. I've tried both sticks by themselves and they both work fine. I've also tried running a single stick in the 3rd and second slots and the comp will once again not boot. Do I need to change bios settings? Could it be a mobo problem :S ? Or is it because of my cheap generic ram and the all so fussy Nforce 2 chipset ? BTW- I don't have any other ram to test it with  *sigh*Thanks.

| Go into the bios and change your memory timings to 7-3-3 at cas 2.5, add voltage to the memory, default is 2.5 v, go to 2.63 or 2.77 volts, save and exit bios, retest.

| Any voltage below 1.90 should have little or no effect on the life span of your RAM. Above that it slowly degrades it as setting go up. I run at 1.95 for stability in overclocking. How long do you want your RAM to last? I feel mine should be good for two or three years, well beyond my need of it.

| I'm having the exact same problem, I've made a thread about it...I have 2*512mb PC2100 DDR266, I get a 'C1' error when I use DIMMs 2 or 3. Glad to hear my board isn't bust! What settings should I be aiming for?

?Jamie- e-mail Epox tech support and ask them for a fix. I tried but because I bought my board from Komplett it's not under epox warranty .
