Memory upgrade at XFire Esata2

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all
I still have a XFire ESata2 in use, with 2 banks of 4GB (each) PC2-6400 DDR2 800MHZ DIMM installed, working perfect.
Now I wanted to upgrade to 4 banks, 4GB each.
Manual says maximum of 16GB RAM, so it should work fine.
I ordered exactly the same modules, so I have 4 modules now, every module working fine when installed alone.
But when I install all 4 modules at once, I get no picture output.
BIOS is up to date.
Installed setup is a AMD Phenom X3 triple core 2,3 GHz cpu and a GeForce 9500 GT 1 GB RAM.
Is there a way / is this a known problem?
Please help 
thanks

	Which XFire ESata2 is it you have there? You're attempting to run two separate 8GB(2x4GB) mem kits. The stickers on EACH stick, do the timings and voltage listed on all 4 sticks match? I'd really like to see CPU-z screenshots of both kits, 2 sticks x 2 screenies, to verify. Look closely at the sticks when you provide these and install 2 sticks whose serial number coincide. This will keep each 2 sticks as they came packaged as 2x4GB kit. I'll keep watch for your screenshots.
