I've had problems similar to this before -- Try manually setting all the timings in your BIOS with one stick in, all your latencies and speeds, and then stick the other stick in. Could be it's just not reading the SPD right, or one of the SPD's isn't set right.
Im not very familiar with this can you go into detail plz?Like where to find these speeds i looked and couldnt find.:/
First of all, have you reset CMOS after adding the other stick? - these boards can be quite picky about this sort of thing.... - Zephyr could be right about the timings - We'd need to see what settings you have in the BIOS to check... (might be under advanced chipset settings / DRAM timings) MSI's site has loads of FAQs about incompatible RAM causing similar issues......(although yours is listed as OK) Might be worth checking and upgrading to the latest BIOS version.....
