Hi,

I just bough 16gbs ram kit quad channel 4x4 sticks DDR3-2133 PC3-17000 Intel XMP ready by RipjawsZ.

My PC won't load at all, starting it makes fans goes but it leaves me on a black screen and I can't go into bios at all. I tried changing the timing from 11-11-11-28 to 10-12-12-31 as it says on my new rams but still not working.

Here is my build:

Alienware aurora R4
Motherboard 0fpv4p x79
socket 2011 LGA
Intel core i7-4820k
bios version A11

I don't have XMP settings on my bios so I'm fooled. I looked on Intel's website for that XMP list and can't find my processor.

Sorry if my English is wrong, I'm French!
Tell me if you need more info.

Thank you for reply!

It is possible the memory is incompatible with the system.

First clear CMOS (see page 156 of the Owner's Manual).

Try ONE DIMM at a time and in different slots. This will help determine if one or more DIMM's and/or slots maybe faulty.

According to the owner's manual (page 149) you should be able to select and set XMP for DIMM's once booted into BIOS/Setup?

If able to boot and run the system with one or more DIMM's installed, use either CPU-Z or HWiNFO64 to read the DIMM's SPD data.

If using CPU-Z, select the SPD tab, if using HWiNFO64, select Summary only box and then click Run.

Take note of voltage and timings required for running the DIMM's at frequency of interest.

Boot into BIOS/Setup and according to...

Take note of voltage and timings required for running the DIMM's at frequency of interest.

Boot into BIOS/Setup and according to the settings required as noted above, set DRAM voltage (page 151 of manual), set DRAM timings (pages 149 and 150), and set DRAM frequency (page 149). Save and exit and reboot.

Note that this system officially supports up to 1866 MHz DIMM's. If wanting to go to higher frequency, overclocking the CPU (page 149 etc) will probably be required. Note also, the BIOS may limit DRAM frequency and/or limit overclocking settings, so it may not be possible to run or overclock the system to run DRAM at higher than 1866 MHz frequency(?)
