    Ok, I'm at a loss on this one...

    I have what appears to be some flaky RAM (many Blue Screens with "Memory Management" and Code 0x0000001a as the error. That's not the point of this post though.

    Normally; my C90S is connected to an external monitor and keyboard. I can't figure out how to keep the external display activated across reboots. This is in the PITA category; not a show stopper but it would be nice to resolve it.

    I give up; what's the magic method for getting this to work?

    CHeers,

    off topic, what ram did you decide to use?

    As for keeping an external display active across reboots.... best way and only way I can think of is to go into your video card settings control panel and change the external display as the primary device and not the secondary.

    It's spec'd as Corsair; but I haven't validated the sticks that are installed with my eyes ;)

    Ahh thats what I thought, Good thing I have not gone to buy the Corsair yet.

    Im at the point of just getting a 1gb stick and going 2x1gb, because I cant seem to get a working 2+1 configuration.

    using corsair now, works fine, but i think that if you have a working system, then any ram will work

    and my system has a real problem yet....knock on wood
