I am in dire need of help. So first I bought these Kingston BLU RAM 1600 MHz (http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/KHX1600C9D3B1K2_8GX.pdf) But my computer wouldn't boot (black screen, fans running) or it would go into constant reboot. I read some posts on forums with people having the same problem and found that changing from the 1600MHz version to the 1333 MHz version(http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/KHX1333C9D3B1K2_8G.pdf) would help, which I then bought. Now I have the same problem.. apart from the constant reboot.
Please help

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. The issue here is that the intel 5-series chipsets and first generation iCore processors do not support high density 4Gbit memory. All of our currently shipping 4GB memory modules are high density made with 4Gbit memory and we no longer support those systems. The discontinued 4GB module that would be compatible is part number KVR1333D3N9/4G, you may still be able to find this part from online resellers who hold on to the older memory like www.memoryten.com . 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.

Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.
