Hello!
I bought a new RAM a few weeks ago, they were Mushkin Enhanced Redline 8GB (1866 model), and tried to install it on my PC but all my desktop did was beep and shut down. I eventually found out that with my motherboard, I have to press relatively hard for the ram sticks to click in. I installed the Redlines but there was no display. I then installed my old 4gb ram, and the display was fine. I recently checked crucial to see if my ram was REALLY incompatible, and it turns out that the ram I bought actually WAS compatible. The redlines are PC3-14900, and crucial says that PC3-14900 is compatible with my mobo, but every time I try to install it I get no display.
Any tips?

i will double check to make sure.

you may have put the ram in incorrectly and broke the ram, hopefully not, but its possible.

The name of the RAM straight from the website: MUSHKIN ENHANCED REDLINE 8GB (2 X 4GB) 9-10-9-27 DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) FROSTBYTE MODEL 997007

The mobo is a Gigabyte H77.

Perfect! Although 1.55V wasn't an option, 1.70V did the trick. Many thanks, oh noble Tradesman.
