Like all Server Products this Board uses ECC RAM the more expensive RAM not the common Non ECC Ram used in Desktops.

hi i have two samsung 1gb 1rx4 pc2-3200r-333-12-c3.

i tried a know ddr2 ram from a normal deskotp pc but still it doesnt work with it get same error.

is it posible for 2 module to be deffective at same time?

so, it is more likely a fault in the motherboard somewhere, in regards to the memory
slots not making connection, OR, possibly shorted out by contact to the case. Check
for any obvious signs of cross-circuits or shorts, if none seen then you may need to
check on replacing the mortherboard.

hi i forgot to mention also that Iv tried both the of the server ram in a normal desktop pc that support ddr2 ram and they do not boot.

That's normal as most Desktop system can not use ECC RAM. You need to test the RAM on a M'Board that uses ECC RAM to see if it's working.
