Yellow+yellow or orange+orange for Dual Channel, orange+orange being better in general (for overclocking that is, both combos should work fine though). Your memory wont blow up, those slots are just colour-coded for easier use.aslird said:quick answer
Silly question maybe, but do you have any idea why the memory banks are 2 different colours (pink and yellow). Is it just for show, or will my memory blow up if i change it around?
it means the memory is getting power, that is normalaslird said:Ta for the replies, i have a problem with one of the memory banks, there is a yellow led light next to it. I presume this means the part is borked?
Try yellow+orange for single channel and that single led you are talking about is "stand-by" led iirc. What kind of memory do you have btw?aslird said:It stops on 3 leds - memory check. Both dimms work fine on their own, but not together. Btw, there is only a led lit on one of the banks, not on the second one.
put them both in either the yellow or the orange slots,aslird said:It stops on 3 leds - memory check. Both dimms work fine on their own, but not together. Btw, there is only a led lit on one of the banks, not on the second one.
easy way to check, Lanparty's come with memtest built into the BIOSaslird said:now it seems that only 1 of my memory sticks works, so that must be the problem (when i boot up with of them, it gets to the windows loading page and then gives me a bsod and resets too quick to see the message).
The memory i have is Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2 TwinX (2 x 1GB) Dual Channel Pack (TWINX2048-3200C2).
Seems i will have to buy more memory, but i have a feeling it will be expensive
Did you run memtest with both dimms plugged in or both separately? You can get errors like that just because of crappy bios settings so I wouldn't give up the hope yet.aslird said:Thanks for your help saggy and chronic
Have just done the memtest thing chronic suggested, and it confirmed that the dimm is faulty - over 200k errors after 2 mins of testing , so will have to buy some more ram. Have checked on dabs and overclockers (where i brought my system from) and they only sell this memory in pairs (and it is £200 ) Any suggestions of other good sites to try and buy it from?

I have had the memory since having my system (about 6 months with no problems). Pc just decided to reboot randomly yesterday while i was playing, and ever since have been having these problems.Darzil said:How new is the memory? Has it worked before ?
I had to get mine replaced cos only one of the Corsair matched pairs worked.
You could also try altering the memory timing in the BIOS slightly, as the memory may work ok, but just not at the max timings.

Surely you have some warranty left then?aslird said:can't run it with both plugged in, as it doesn't even get to the bios screen, so ran it separatly. Ran one fine with no errors, ran the other one and got all those errors.
Saying this in starting post would have helped alot tbhaslird said:I have had the memory since having my system (about 6 months with no problems). Pc just decided to reboot randomly yesterday while i was playing, and ever since have been having these problems.
