Alrighty guys, need a bit of help over here.
So heres the situation in order of events.
1) Order some things from newegg:
a) 16gb Ram cards: http://www.newegg.com/GeIL-Desktop-Memory/BrandSubCat/ID-1687-147
b) Intel motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121775
c) Intel i7 CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116901
2) CPU and Mobo gets here first, install both, using the GPU I already had, which is a nvidia 650gtx, and a corsair 850 watt bronze psu, and my decently old 8gb (2x4). And everything works fine, a few driver issues, and upon installing the proper stuff, all is well.
3) New RAM come in, bein the GeIL 16gb cards. So I attempt to install those, and it just continues to shut down, three beeps every time, so its not even recognizing the ram is in.
4) I issue an RMA for the GeIL ram cards, and ship em back, putting my old 4gb cards back in, and all it well.
5) Today, the new cards come in, being these, 16gb, 2, eight gig cards. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231558
6) Now finally, heres the problem. I install these new G.Skill cards, and it doesnt load windows, but, the mobo does indeed recognize the RAM being there, I can get to bios and everything, but windows is failing to load due to "A recent hardware or software change might be the cause"
Now it tells me to insert the windows 7, 64 bit boot disc, and select repair my computer. Upon doing that, after a long while of waiting, it tells me an error has occured and it cannot automatically repair windows. I see a button that says "memory diagnostic" so I press that inhopes of having some progress, it then brings up a window basically saying thats not possible, and does not state a reason as to why.
Now after that, I try to take the cards out and put my old, 8gb cards in, in hopes of getting to google and looking for aid. But, upon putting the old cards in, it gave the same error it gave the newer cards.
So, I'm at a loss here guys.
