First post. let's try... No help at Tom's
New simple build, everything was bought used. Last owner says he used it with two with no problems but i only have his word for it. Motherboard has two slots only, and both modules, plus another corsair for testing, all works good in slot 1 each on their own. All of them are 4GB DDR3 1600.
Here is the weird part: when both modules are installed, the motherboard fires up slowly and weak. what do i mean? All fans and and drives start spinning much slower than normal. sometime they even turn off for a second before starting up again all the way to POST.
There is always one good POST beep. Everytime it reaches the "checking memory" line at POST listing the correct current size (8\4GB). the difference is that with one installed it goes to check drives and with two it hangs and go into a boot loop.
I've tried disconnecting everything (USB and front panels connectors included) and starting only with PSU and onboard GPU connected.
any more ideas? i see this problem is common on the forums but with slights variants
Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-d2-b3 (rev. 1.0)
CPU: i3 2130
Memory: some unknown one (having troubles identifying), but also with a corsair vengeance
PSU: chieftec aps-550s
thanks in advance!
