Memory issues on msi board, help?

Plz help me... :confused:

I have jus bought 2x 1GB DDR333 CL2.5 2.5V non-ecc
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6878639382&rd=1&rd=1

when i plugged them into my pc and turned on my pc... a long beep noised... i looked it up on the net and it said that means it cant find any ram... i then tryed using one at a time... but still no luck... then i tried combanations of entering the ram... still didnt work... plz help me...
my motherboard is MSI (Micro Star) MS-6777 (K7N2GM-L) i looked up the specs for it before i bought my ram and it all looked fine... heres a link to the page

plz help me... thx in advance :toast:

Mmm, please try more meaningful titles next time. Read the sticky on the main forum.

As for your problem, you're right. A long beep usually means RAM problems. Do you have any other PC you can test the RAM on? And I don't know the specs of your mobo, but does it support DDR400? Either way, if it doesn't work in the other PC, it's faulty RAM.

opps very sorry :eek:

this is an identical motherboard as mine
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MSI-K7N2GM-L-...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

Supports DDR266/333 with internal graphic core, DDR266/333/400 with external add-on card

Also unfortunatly i dont have another computer i could test it on

what latency are you running the ram?

and what speed are you running them?

DDRKING · May 11, 2006

sorry im a bit of a n00b beyond plug and play...

how do i find out the latency and speed? is it 333mhz

[EDIT]hmm i jus found a site which i can download a bios update... should i try it?[/edit]

Jimmy 2004 · May 11, 2006

Try the bios update, and you can normally find your latencies via your bios or using CPUZ (do a google search).

tofu · May 11, 2006

First, clear CMOS, meaning disconnect all power from your computer.

Then, pull out the CMOS battery and wait 10sec (im saying this because it would be a hassle trying to find the BIOS clear jumper)

Plug everything back in and boot up your computer.

Everything should boot up and you go into the BIOS and set the ram in Chipset Configuration (or something like that) and you set your ram frequency to DDR333 or 166 (depending on BIOS) and set your ram latencies to 2.5-3-3-7!

Hope this works out!

EDIT: if this doesnt work out then i think your modules are doa

i waz doing the bios update, after i had created a boot disk and got it all set up in DOS... it asked me to create a name... this scared me a bit... so i entered my motherboard name just in case MS-6777 Ver:1... then i asked to enter Bios name... then i got scared and entered MS-6777 Ver:1.1... then it said cannot find file or summit?!?!?!?

Dippyskoodlez · May 11, 2006

try winflash.

1.) if you get bios flashed set the timings to "auto" which should use the spd.
2.) if auto doesnt work, it may be bad ram.

tofu · May 11, 2006

when flashing thru DOS u gotta make a filename that's shorter

so there you go

if you don't want to flash bios just follow the guide i wrote up above ^^

DDRKING · May 11, 2006

thx...

umm problem... ok i cleared cmos like u said... but when i went in i couldnt find anything to do with ram except video shadowing and ram voltage

tofu · May 12, 2006

Hmmmm, congrats! It boots!

Look around in your BIOS, the ram frequency option should be there somewhere. Maybe under the advanced menu.

Goto Windows and download CPU-Z to check your ram frequency and your latencies.

DDRKING · May 12, 2006

yea it still works with my old ram...

Latency says

3 cache lvls detected
lvl 1 Size = 64kb latency = 3 cycles
lvl 2 Size = 128kb latency = 20 cycles
lvl 3 Size = 256kb latency = 61 cycles

frequency is

165.8mhz

on SPD Timings

133mhz 166mhz

Hmm i still cant find the ram frequenct thing on bios... i found CAS LATENCY which waz set to 2.5, I also found FSB/DRAM RATIO which was set to SPD or somthing and MEMORY TIMINGS which was also set to SPD... and thats all i could find

That's it! Under the FSB/DRAM RATIO, select DDR333 or 166mhz.
And under MEMORY TIMINGS, select "custom" or "advanced" or "user config" in order to fully access the memory timings. Once you do, set the latencies to 2.5-3-3-7!

Hope this works out!

*sigh* nope still not workin...:shadedshu
i think im starting to go crazy :twitch:

Sounds like you could have faulty ram.
