Hello Guys, I'm new here and I hope you can help me as much as I wish.

I have the following RIG:
GPU: GeForce GTX 660
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20Ghz
O.S.:Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

and I recently bought (and got 1 hour ago) a Kingston HyperX (Kingston 8Gb 1600Mhz Ddr3 Non-Ecc Cl9 Dimm) [KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX].

I successfully plugged in the RAM and started the PC but when I get to the Mobo screen(the one you see to get to the BIOS it loops). I can't get into the BIOS and It doesn't go further than that.

I was pretty sure it was compatible with my CPU and Motherboard...

Any suggestion/help?

So...
I've done as you said and with only 1 RAM it works but when I want to load windows a blue screen appears but I guess that's because I have to do a fresh install.
If I power down and restart with 2 RAMs (so 8 Gb) it does do again the same thing... (loops boot after mobo screen)
I tried as well with 1 new RAM of this and 1 old RAM (an old 2 Gb Kingston 669Mhz) and it goes well with the same blue screen.
Should I try installing windows again with only 1 RAM(Kingston HyperX) and then try again with 2 RAMs?

EDIT
The fact is: I can't find the VDIMM option in the BIOS. ...

There is:
CPU Voltage
Offset Voltage
IMC Voltage
DRAM Voltage
CPU PLL Voltage
PCH Voltage

I tried set DRAM Voltage at 1.65 but it doesn't change anything... Should I look somewhere else for VDIMM or should I increase DRAM a bit more?

Hello, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support and would like to offer our assistance. First to get stability, it would be best to reset the BIOS to default settings. The HyperX RAM (KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX) will run at 1333/9 default JEDEC specification which is a stable speed for your mobo and cpu. With ASUS boards when installing just two modules, they typically need to be installed in slots A2 and B2, usually the darker colored slots. To be sure, check your motherboard manual for the recommended memory configuration, all ASUS motherboard manuals that I have seen include that information. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Please be sure to have the part in question on hand when you call.

Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.
