Motherboard GA H55M-S2 F4 Problem when upgrading RAM.
« on: February 06, 2014, 09:00:16 am »
Hello, Yesterday I bought 2xRAM ADATA AD3U1333W4G9-B for my computer. In the attached file you can see my configuration. After I change my old 2x2GB ADATA RAM with the new one, the computer starts but only to "Starting Windows" text without anything else. I checked my Bios version, was F3 and the latest is F4, flashed it to F4, but still nothing changed. Also I observed that when I put only 1 RAM in Slot 1 the computer load only to checking ram and restart. I tried with increasing the voltage to 1,6V but still nothing.

If someone has some ideas I will be very happy to read them.
Thank You in advance and have a nice day.

Best regards!

Have you tried to clear the cmos and pull the battery. Let it sit about 10 mins.

Put the battery back in unclear the cmos and just set it to the default settings.

Then see what it does. What you are saying is you went from Adata to Adata right?

Plus the memory you took out is it the same speed & cache as the new memory?

If they are the same try one of old sticks with a new stick. Yes it says it supports 8gb, but does it.

X299X Aorus Master, i9-9940x-3.30Ghz, 64gb G-Skill DDR4-2400, MSI RTX-3070 8GB, Cooler Master case, Thermal-take PSU 850w, 1-M2-NMVe SSD-512gb, 3-Pny 1TB SSD, 2-WD Raptors 1TB, Win 10 pro 64bit, Asus 35" 144Mhz Monitor.

Done. Result = 0

Done = It start beeping (something like police car) till I shut down the comp.

Yes it says it supports 8gb, but does it.
So you are saying me that Gygabite are lying about their motherboards?

I bring the whole computer + the old and new ram to the shop from where I bought the ram. After 2 days of tries with the mentioned AData and other Kingstone (mentioned by Gygabite that is supported by the motherboard) they called me and said that it is impossible to put 8 GB of ram on this motherboard.

Don't believe everything you read from any of the motherboard companies.

I have run into that in the past where it is telling you how much ram it will support.

On their support page it says this: 2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory.

It doesn't say it will support 8 GB. Just up to 8 GB. I'm sorry you didn't get it to work.

One other thing is what CPU are you running?
