motherboard and ram compatibility

[markuk]

i have just started my new project, its a vapochill case with an asus a7n8x deluxe motherboard v 2, asus geforce fx graphics card v9900/td,(fx 5800),( not everyones cup of tea , but as you know we have already got the radeon 9800 pro, so wished to compare them). now the ram seems to be the problem weve got ocz 1 gb (2x512mb) pc 3500 dual channel series, which keeps causing the computer to crash and restart, we have put in our corsair 1gb xms3200 twin x and it has been fine, does anyone know if they are not compatible?? as we cant find anything about it anywhere. if they are not can you suggest a motherboard that is? cheers

First thing I would do is update the bios for your motherboard. When I built my friends new system we used some Corsair XMS which crashed the system (or it didn't boot up), apparently even though he had the new revision motherboard it still required a bios update to support some types of RAM.
