Strange RAM issue
I have 4x2GB sticks of OCZ Gold DDR2-800 RAM, but for some reason, I'm not able to use all 4 sticks on my motherboard, despite the fact that the documentation clearly says that it supports 8 GB of RAM. I already ruled out bad RAM as I've used every combination of 2 of the 4 sticks of RAM with no issues, as well as in all 4 slots, but I can't have all 4 in at once. The computer will power on, but nothing will show up on the monitor. I even tried a couple of older 1 GB DDR2 sticks together with 2 of the OCZ sticks and that doesn't work either. Every combination of the 2 will allow me to boot up into Windows properly, but if I have all 4 sticks in at once, whether its 4x2GB or 2x2GB and 2x1GB, it doesn't. Does anyone have any idea as to why it's doing that? Not that it's THAT big a deal since 4 GB is enough RAM, but since I have the additional 4 GB, I would like to get some use out of it.
