I opened up my build, popped these bad boys in (G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBSR) and my computer wouldn't even show the bios? I'm almost 100% sure these are compatible.

MY BUILD
MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming LGA 1155 Intel Z77
Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz
EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2662-KR GeForce GTX 660

Thanks for the help!

I use slot 1 and 3 for the corsair ram I just installed on my new build a few weeks back. I just got in these new sticks and tried slots 2 and 4 and the system would turn on but no boot. Bad sticks possibly?

no my guess is they two aren't playing nice, make sure the computer is set to your corsair memory settings in the bios, then bump the voltage up a bit, if you run amd bump CPU/NB up .1v if you run Intel try VCCIO up .1v.


If you want check the new memory pull the corsair and see if just the snipers work.

The snipers work... What do you mean "try VCCIO up .1v?"
