actually, you most likely need to set the RAM timings manually with that board...i had the same problem
 
First what memory are you running? You'll need to go to their website and get the timings and the voltage setting. After that you'll need to boot the system up with only two gigs installed and set those settings in the bios. After that you should be able to shut down and install the other two gigs of memory. As for your bios upgrade us ethe Asus updater to update your bios . Simply download the correct bios and save it to your desktop , then open the Asus udate tool and tell it to update the bios from a file and choose the location of the file.
 
i use G.Skill rams yeah i will check the timing myself thank you so much.

i tried to update my bios at the bios set up ! it won't work. so i guess there is asus update tool now? i will give that a try

thank you so much
 
The Asus update tool should be listed in the download section for your mobo on their website . It is easy to use and what model is the memory ( example PC 6400 ddr2 ) and is it dual channel?
