I would like to think of myself as an experienced system builder as I've built many in my time.
However I have come unstuck with an error code that I came accross today.
I have an Abit IP35 Pro Motherboard with 4 slots in it. I have had, for the past 2 years, 2 x 1gb sticks of PC2-6400 OCZ platinumx sticks in there, without any problems. I wanted to upgrade to 4GB of RAM, using all the slots I have, I bought another identical pair of modules.
Upon installation, I had my original pair, lets call them A1 and A2 installed in matching DIMM trays. I installed my new pair (B1 and B2) into the remaining two slots.
Upon installing them, the computer did not boot, it hung on error code 52. I checked this code and it says:
Fig 1. Original config
Fig 2. Installation of new memory - resulting in error 52
So i decided to take out all the memory and put my old memory in the other slots to see if it was a problem with the slot.
Fig 3. re-installation of old memory
And this worked fine - booted with no problems. So I took the old memory out, put the new memory in, on it's own in both pairs of slots and it still worked fine.
So finally I tried the memory round in the only remaining configuration there is and it would not boot.
As this proved unsuccessful, I have had to turn to you guys for help. Does anyone have any Ideas? I have cleared by BIOS and it did not do anything.
Thanks in advance.
