Hey,
So I recently bought a new ram: KINGSTON 8GB DDR3 PC12800 CL10 DIMM HYPERX FURY BLACK SERIES KIT OF 2 HX316C10FBK2/8 (http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX316C10FBK2_8.pdf)
My motherboard: MSI P55-CD53 (HARDOCP - Introduction - MSI P55-CD53 Motherboard Review)
The problem is that when I boot my pc, it freezes, or doesn`t boot.
When I insert 1 stick (i tried inserting both, and starting pc), it doesn`t go further that win8 loading screen (it freezes there) or restarts several times and then freezes. But atleast I can enter BIOS.
When I insert both sticks, its freezes at this screen: Picture (imgur), cant do anything. (i can`t access BIOS either)
Things I have tried:
- Played around dram voltages (1.550 - 1.700)
- Updated to newest BIOS version to my motherboard (BIOS recognizes the ram)
- Tried to put sticks in all 4 slots, one stick always works, both never
- I did the CMOS reset
- Basically i`ve tried everything I can find on this problem, nothing works
One good thing is, I tried booting Linux Mint with USB. It boots up when one or the other stick is inserted, so i suppose the RAM isn`t faulty. When both sticks are inserted then it just freezes, like in screen I previously provided.
I have no options left, don`t know what to do.
