Lets start off from the beginning. My download Shuttle had 2 x 256Mb PC2700 before and had a GF4 Ti4800 in it working no probs. Couple of months ago, I replaced the Ti4800 with an Asus FX5700 and everything was dandy. This morning, the 2 x 512Mb PC3200 Corsair from MrStabby arrived, and having checked it out on my test rig, and installed it into my Shuttle.

PC boots no problems, gets the the XP login screen, into the desktop, starts to load a few of the Windows service....then the screen goes all corrupt (thin mixed up line going across the screen)....the weird thing is that the mouse cursor isn't affected!!!

Played around in the BIOS at timings, AGP & DDR voltage, aperture size, etc....but no good. Replaced the Ti4800 back in, and everything runs OK again! Thought I'd maybe loosed the FX5700 when changing ram, so I replace the card again, and same problem comes up!!

Tested FX5700 in test rig and it works fine.....?! So Asus doesn't like Corsair ram?!?!?
