I'm running an E8400 on the Asus P5G41T-M LE. Now i orded Corsair DDR3 1333 8gb (2x4gb) XMS3 memory.
With the new RAM module inserted the system will not boot (Both tried 1 or 2 modules). Fans start spinning although blackscreen and NO post. Putting back the old 2gb RAM does make the system start normal.
The specifications of the motherboard do say 1333 ram is supported bij (OC) overclock. I assumed the 1333 would run at 1067. My old RAM which does work also is Corsair.
The new RAM is not on the QVL of my motherboard although this one is short.
It's 1333, 9-9-9-24 at 1.5v.
With the old ram inserted i tried forcing 1333 or 1067 mode, i even tried overclocking my FSB and setting the Ram voltage to 1.61. Even setting the timings manually. All this didnt had any effect, putting in the new RAM wont make the system boot/POST.
Is there anything i could try? Or should i return the memory because it is probably incompatible?
PS. Tried the New memory in other system and works normally.
Thanks,
