i have a gigabyte b75m-d3h motherboard (can take 32 gb's RAM), originally with 2x4gb ddr3 Kingston RAM, and bought another 2x4gb ddr3 except this time its crucial.

when they are all in, my computer starts for a couple seconds, then in an infinate loop it resets itself, over the coarse of 5 seconds. it works with either of the brands but not both.

they are both 1.5v, and to my understanding ram normally takes on whatever the lower CAS latency, so i dont understand the issue.

the names of the RAM chips are
crucial ct51264ba1339
Kingston KVR16N11S8/4

is there any way i can make these play well together?

well you have 1333mhz cl9 and 1600 cl11

go into bios and manually set 1333 11-11-11-32 save and restart. if it works try 10-10-10-28. if it fails then start by increasing the later numbers first 10-10-10-28. also make sure you run them in pairs. first at 1-3 ram slot and second at 2-4 ram slot
