Hey guys new to forums and needing some help!!!!!!!!
My system is in my sig, abd here is my problem!
Have the D975XBX2 upgraded from little brother "BadAxe" (Board shorted out)
Have 4X OCZ Platinum 6400 REV2's
The only way I can get the OCZ'z to work are in single ch mode in one set of dims. when I try all 4 it just sits there with a black screen and does nothing except the dvdrw light blinks. When I remove 2 of them back to 2 gigs in single channel it boots. what gives?
I have tested each stick and they test good, (One stick at a time, when boot). Then tested 2 sticks in Blue sockets (no boot), The tested in Blue & Black Socket on same side (Boots to windows).
Now I thought this might be a the deal but not sure you tell me if its ok to do this,
This was an upgrade from the same model board, only diff was the REV version, I didnt want to redo the OS because I had stuff on there before the Old MB went out, So All I did was mount the board with the cpu, cooler and 2 gigs of ram to start, then went to frys and got another 2 gigs of same kit. The no boot with 4 gigs.
Now do I need to install a fresh OS so the Ram works? If I knew what I know now I would have never bought the BADAXE2, its driving me crazy,
some one help me out, I need this system going at full steam, I use it to edit HD video from my Sony-fx7 and need it really fast!
What are some ideas you all have for me, I have been trying to figure this out... Do I..........
Get a different MB and try with the OCZ mem?
Do I take back the OZC 2 gigs and get a DIff ram?
what would be a less money out of pocket fix all in this?
Thanks for your time,
Mike "Cinch" Perry

Put a single stick in the very last slot and boot in to the BIOS, go in to the menu with voltage adjustments and bump the voltage up to 2.2v, this should be a safe voltage for any DDR2. Save the settings, power down your computer completely (switch it off in the back for at least 10 seconds), put in the rest of your RAM, and restart.
U can catch me on MSN, my little MSN button should have the right info.
