Hello. Few days back I bought 2x 4gb memory sticks, the link to it will be posted below.
The first time i started using them, i went to my bios, gave the dram 1,65V and enabled the X.M.P. After that I started to test the ram on the software, for which i bought the ram for and noticed that the screen is glitching and the application is crashing when the ram hits at around 6 - 7 gb used. After the application crashed, I started simply browsing the internet, maybe thought it just needs time or whatever... tho my display driver started crashing over and over again untill i got a blue screen. I restarted the computer and the display driver started crashing again, tho it didnt bluescreen untill i turned on my second monitor. It was only then, when I finally did some research to find out if i even can run the ram, and it turned out i could, but not at its maximum potential. The ram was supposed to be 1600 mhz, but my CPU, since its sandybridge, could only handle 1333 mhz so i went to bios set the voltage to default and disabled the X.M.P. Also i opened the case and noticed that the second ram was like ~1-2mm out of position, so i straightened that out, booted up the computer and everything was running perfectly.
The next day i tried to boot the computer, it just wouldnt boot. It would power on, show the "thinking" light for a split second and turn off, then by itself turn back on and repeat. It didnt even get to peeps, its just cyclin on and off. I was sure that nothing could have broke, so I took out the ram sticks and switched their sides, the computer booted up and ran perfectly for the day.
So the next day the same thing happens, but this time i dont switch the ram sticks, i just take them out and put them back in where they were, and the computer boots and runs perfectly again.
Today that didnt work anymore, so i took out the second stick entirely and put it back in the case, which came with it when i bought it and the computer boots and runs perfectly again, tho i dont have the extra 4gb ram anymore.
I was wondering, since you guys are very experienced in these kind of stuff, could it be that im not directing enough power to the ram sticks, for it to boot correctly? I have a 750w psu and im not even using it at max potential. I estimated that my system would need only around ~400-500w psu. Even if the PSU is being used at its full capacity, can i somehow redirect some power from the graphics card, since the fans are getting very old and fail to cool the graphics card.
Here are the specs.
Operating system / Windows 7 64bit
Motherboard model / H61MU-E35 (MS-7680)
Motherboard BIOS version / A.30
Graphics card model / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti factory overclocked
Processor / Intel Core i7 - 2600 8k (it may be 2600k, i dont really know. When i bought it, the papers said 2600k, cpu-z says 2600)
Ram / Some hyperx genesis 2x 4gb @ 1600mhz 1.65V - http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/khx1600c9d3k2_8gx.pdf
If theres anything else I should add, let me know.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have tested the sticks and every other component, they all work unless the both sticks are placed together.
