Hello
I am trying to upgrade my memory. I purchases 8GB DDR 3 1066mhz Link. After installing it the computer turned on, fans started, but there was no system beeps or display and after 10-20seconds it turned off and on again, stuck in this loop. I tried using 1 stick in each slot with the same result. I had to put my old 3gb DDR2 333mhz ram back in and it ran fine.
My thoughts are this ram is not compatible with my motherboard, but from what i have read on the description of the ram and the gigabyte info on my motherboard it should work.
I was going to update the bios as I heard others have had success doing so, but after checking my mb is on the only version available.
Can anyone see something Im overlooking, or anything I could try to make this work? or is it just not compatible?
Spec:
Gigabyte Ga-G41m Combo rev1.4. Gigabyte site link
Intel Q6600 2.4
Geforce 9600GT
600W Power Supply
