Title: GA-Z77-DS3H RAM problem
Post by: zswalden on January 30, 2013, 08:40:26 pm

I have a problem with GA-Z77-DS3H motherboard and KHX1600C9D3B1_4G RAM (2 modules),
System does not boot (beep) when RAM modules are set to dual channel (in single channel everything is fine).

Is there any way to fix this problem?

Other components:

CHIEFTEC APS-550S 550W
Kingston SSD SV200S3128G
G860 CPU
GTX 550Ti

both ddr1&2 and ddr 3&4 cannot work?
you can use two memory modules for dual channel.

As a matter of interest, what BIOS version are you running?

If it is not the latest version, F10f, it might be worthwhile updating to it and seeing if that helps.

If you are running he latest BIOS try going back to the F9 version and see if that makes a difference.
