Hi. I am currently trying to upgrade the ram in my box. I'm running an ECS 661fx-m motherboard foir which I was told I needed to use low density ram. I've installed 2 x 1gb ddr sd ram (128mx72) modules and all I get is a long low beeping and a black screen. When I tried it in my neighbours which is an ECS661fx-m7 motherboard 9same specs in the manual) it works. Can anyone help re this problem. Ive tried ECS and no reply from them. Is there a setting I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.
Yes I'm sure its DDr and not DDR2. I purchased it on the advice of ECS and also the company providing the ram. I used the descriptions supplied by the companies I dealt with, I figure they should know what theyre talking about when they call it low density.
I've got to say I have never heard of it referred to as 'latency'. Anyone I have ever spoken to or dealt with has referred to 'density'.
kraygd, check to see if there is a bios update that might correct that ram problem. REAM, can't put ddr2 ram into ddr slots as it won't fit.
DDP thank you - I expect it will be some type of setting or bios problem - I posted the thread to see if anyone else may have experienced a similar problem and have knowledge of the answer. I'll go through all of the bios settings and compare them with the settings on the board that the ram does perform on.
Thanks DDp - Sorry I took so long to reply, been away. I checked and it does have a bios update. I have only been involved with 1 x bios update previously and a little daunting. I will have to do some serious checking before attempting same, as I dont want to fry the board.
