Hey all,

Whenever I try to boot up I get a "System Failed Memory Test"/No DRAM Detected POST error. I've tried three KGP sticks (Corsair XMS PC3000, and 2x Corsair ValueRAM PC3200) in most every possible configuration with no luck.... cleared CMOS too.

Any Ideas?
 
I was hoping not to hear that :(

did a bit more googling and found that most people who had this problem ended up RMAing the board. Too bad mine is more than two years old now :mad:

Thanks BBS
 
If you can't RMA the board, you might try checking the chipst cooling solution. I've had boards that started to work after reapplying heatsink paste and/or putting a fan on the northbridge.
 
why not try some DDR333 in it ?

isn't that what the board supports ?

mine runs smooth
 
If my memory serves me correctly, Asus has a 3 year warranty on their motherboards. You should be able to RMA that board if it's only 2 years old.

I RMA'd an A7V266-e at the beginning of this year and it's an older board than yours.
 
I also have an a7v333 it only supports upto ddr333 ram I use micron pc 2700 the kind asus said you should use
 
I broke down and got another NF7-S. Will be RMAing the Asus board shortly (thanks for the heads up, SmokeRngs!) Got my palomino 2100+ running 1.8GHz (9x200)

I've always used the PC3000/3200 in the A7V333 without a hitch. I think the manual says that it dumbs it down to whatever the FSB is anyway.
