I just rebuilt my system using this MB (v1.6 and latest bios). My old MSI board allowed me to use GSkill (2x2gb) and OCZ (2x2gb) together in dual DDR2 mode for a total of 8GB in W7 64. When I try to use all 4 sticks in this MB, I get to the LOGO screen but cant access the BIOS. The PC reboots in about 5 seconds in a loop back to the Logo screen and reboot etc. If I use the OCZ RAM in either slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 4....machine boots and works. Same with Gskill...boots in 1 and 3 or 2 and 4. When I try to put in all 4 at same time, it wont get past the logo screen.
Like I said, my older MSI MB (MS-7350) allowed me to use all four of these at the same time and ran W7 64 with all 8 GBs just fine.
What is the problem? What can I do to make this work? Can I mix brands with this board?
The GSkill is 5-5-5-15 1.8v
The OCZ is 5-4-4-15 2.1v
Like I said tho, my MSI board ran both of these at the same time with no errors in W7-64
