OK so im having a little problem with RAM.
here is my important stuff, computer is about a month old if that, and built it my self.
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
ECS G43T-M LGA 775 Intel G43 HDMI Micro ATX Intel
Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W ATX12V v2.01
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775
Vista Ultimate 64-bit
Now when i built it i only put the 4gb of RAM in at first, i didn't have money for another 4 so i was waiting...so i got another 4gb now and its the same thing, identical... now i tried installing the "new RAM with the "old" RAM and i put it in. i start it up and the computer turns on, but my HD doesn't boot up, BIOS doesn't run, and my monitor doesn't turn on... i thought maybe the ram was DOA but i swapped out the old with the new and it works. So my next thought was hey maybe slots 2 & 4 are bad on the MB, i swapped from 1 & 3 and put it in 2 & 4.. works like a champ, so that is crossed off the board for the MB being defective. Ive tried installing just 3 sticks on 1, 3, and 4 and also no luck...Also CPUz shows that my ram is always installed in 1 & 3, putting it in 2 & 4 doesn't change the slots for some reason. I thought hey maybe its my BIOs needs to be updated, so i went to ECS downloaded the most recent BIOS(08/07/15) that also didn't fix the problem(CPUz still shows the old version on the BIOS still installed also). The only thing i can think of is maybe my power supply isn't good enough. OR i have this SM Bus Controller under device manager that has a yellow (!), i tried updating the driver but i get no luck what so ever, it doesn't update(i don't even know what the hell it is)...
Im not really computer smart, and all my buddies that have helped me out so far are clueless. does anyone have a idea??
here is some pics of cpuz, and voltage. maybe it can help you guys
future thanks for anyone that takes the time out to help me
