Hi Guys!

I just put my P4 2.6C and MAX3 in, got it all running nicely with 2x512 Dual Channel, now, I removed one of the 512 sticks as a generous gift to my wife, and disabled dual channel mode, however, windows wont boot anymore nor will it install, it gives me missing file errors and reboots when windows is loading, but, if i place the ram back in, it all works without any hiccups.. dual channel isn't enabled when one stick is out.

I've tried:

- Different stick
- Different DIMM slot

Ram worked fine in old machine.

Any ideas? :mad:
 
Hmmm, sounds like sometihng you might see if your overclocking, but im assuming your not. So it installs and runs fine with the other stick in you say? Have you tried it with only the other stick?
 
I've tried with only one stick, thats what I want to work, but it doesn't work, I take out the one I want out, and it gives me the above. Yet when in Dual Channel mode, theres no problems at all.

Even swapped sticks.
 
Because i'm giving the other stick to my wife. I'd love to but her machine just got upgrade and has 0 ram :p
 
Still no luck.

Been fiddling with bios options, memory checks out OK, Came out fine in another machine, both sticks running memtest86.
 
If after all the things you do does not solve it sounds like its an f'd up mobo. Couldn't be much more?
 
I fixed it.

I upped the VDIMM from 2.6 to 2.8 and it seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for the effort,
