Dud memory?

[Grimgoth]

Hi, just to check if you guys think I got some dud memory;
Bought some Corsair TwinX1024RE-3200LLPT memory- matched memory pair to upgrade from my old Corsair 512 MB single stick 2700 memory.
Pulled out the old memory, stuck in the matched pair in the first two slots, as adviced by the mobo (an Asrock 939A8X-M), restarted, and.... everything powers up, but there is no video signal out to the monitor, so can't even see bios. Removed, replaced old memory, and all is well. So tested each matched stick separately, both show cause same symptoms. Old memory still works absolutely fine.
Don't believe that there are any jumpers i need to change, to accept registered memory or anytihng......
thanks in advance

Your motherboard won't accept registered memory, it needs normal DDR.

Does that motherboard actually support the registered memory ?

*edit* Beaten to it.

Get yourself some normal (non-registered, non-ECC) DDR RAM to replace it mate

eh, since i'm not allowed on the for trade forums yet, and before i try and auction it or something, i don't suppose this registered memory could be of any use to anybody? PM me i guess

and apologies if this goes against the trading rules
