I *think* I'm on the native IDE setting (certainly, no issues with HDD performance!)...
I swapped out the RAM and no dice, so it's defo an incompatibility (power cycled, and perfect again as usual!)... However, according to Gigabyte's compatibility list for the board I have, this should fit the bill (another £60 quid, but the amount of blood and sweat I've wasted is about 5x that!) Kingston KHX1600C9D3K2/4G HyperX / 4GB 1600MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 / Non-ECC CL9 DIMM Dual Channel Computer Memory - Computing at Play.com (UK)
Have to see if I get some chrimbo money...
If this works, I should be able to punt the Corsair RAM for a decent price, as it's definitely OK in itself.
BTW, is the 1.9/1.5v thing a red herring if you set the board to "Auto" for memory?
