Greetings everyone,

Bad english incoming

I just built a new pc and booted it for the first time, nothing happened so I tought that a installed to much memory for the first boot ( 2 2x4 G.Skill ares series memories) so I uninstalled 3 of them. The pc booted and Windows got installed pretty well.

Here the problem; I shut down the pc, unplug the ps and add the rest of my memory sticks (making sure that the pairs are together). The pc run, fans are spinning and everything looks good, but it wont bootup! So I say to myself; ''dude reset the cmos'' again its not working... :(

I went on some forums and somepeople says that you need to retire all your memory stick when you reset the cmos but I dont really want to uninstall the first memory stick because of my cpu cooler who blocks the first slot.

Some other says that you need to add more power (in wattage I dont really know)

There are my specs: GTX MSI 970 (GPU)
GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK (Motherboard) UEFI Bios
Crossaire CX750M (ps)
G.Skill ares series 2 2x8
i7 4790k (CPU)

Sorry for the log thread and my bad english and thx for helping! ;)

Mixing packages of DRAM (even the same exact model) can be and often is problematic. Start with one set, go into BIOS and if 1600 or better DRAM - enable XMP and raise the DRAM voltage + 0.05 - so it they are 1.5 sticks - set to 1.55, save, exit, shutdown and then add the other set and give it a try - if problems still let me know the model # of the Ares

How do I raise the voltage? I think that I enabled the XMP (by settig it at Profile1?) and then I cant raise the voltage, its like locked at 1.5v. I navigate in the bios and every paces where the voltage of the DRAMM is mentionned, its locked, do I need to remove the remaining stick of memory?

Sorry of the time it took to answer :/

I tried to raise the voltage, but till it wont boot, I cant set it to 1.55, its automatically to 1,6v and we I shut down the pc befor adding the second stick of ram, I can see an error message but the second after the pc close so I dont have the time to read it.

I think the serial is f3-1660c9d-8gao

As you can see im not a master in pc but, when its in single chanel with only one stick of ram, my pc can boot and detect the ram so I dont think its a compatibility problem.

Notice me senpei ;)

Samething, it seems like only the 1rst slot is detecting the ram.

*I saw that the ram slots are positionned like this 4-3-2-1 because its writed on the board so it would mean that the slot 4 (the first one at the left) is the only one working.

*I tried every ram stick in the only slot working and all 4 are good and the pc boot but when I put more than one it wont boot even if the XMP is enable and the power is at 1.55. Does that mean that I need to se the timing manually? If it is the case, how?
