I am using a quite old MSI 740GTM -P25 Motherboard with an AMD Phenom 2 X2 555, 4 Gigs of RAM.
Here's my problem. When I place both RAM sticks (2x 2GB DDR2 Corsair) in the two available slots of the motherboard. Once I boot it up, the computer won't boot. I get no signal. But, if I put a RAM in the first slot, the computer boots perfectly.
I attempted putting the working RAM into the other slot but did not get success.
Thanks Audren! This worked for me! I have now got 2/4 slots working (previously only 1/4 was working! :@). I'm guessing that the other two slots will also work but will need a bit more rigorous cleaning. But currently am happy that I got at least one out of the three that were not detecting cards at all to function!
I guess this happened cause I've never used any other RAM slots since I bought the PC, and the three unused ones have been eating dust for nearly four years now!
