This is a bit confusing and doesn't really make sense but i will try to simplify it.
Before i start explaining let me disclose that I had this setup working before i reset CMOS.
I have 4 x 8gb Crossair dominators that are 1866 Mhz and 1.5v that i had in my Alienware Aurora R4. I had to reset the CMOS, after doing so I could not boot my computer at all... The lights would turn on the tower but the screens, keyboard, mouse all would NOT turn on. So i put in the original 4 x 2gb stock RAM and had the same issue. Then I removed 2 cards and I was able to get the computer to boot. Then i started to mix and match them, after much tinkering I was able to get my computer to boot and function properly with 1 2gb RAM stick (Original) and 3 8gb Corsair dominators for 26 GB of RAM but i would like to use all 4 corsair sticks and obviously I don't want to be mixing them but oddly enough that was the only way I could get my CPU to boot at all.
I am almost certain when I installed these new ram sticks I had to make some adjustments in the BIOS but I don't remember what it is I need to do. Also doesn't help that there is only 1 BIOS version available for my motherboard and it's terrible.... Running Alienware Aurora A11 BIOS, don't think it has another name....
I would REALLY appreciate some help..... I don't know it this is allowed but if it is I will paypal you for your help if you know how to fix this.
