Hello, I'm not a native speaker so please excuse me if I miss something :)

Well a couple of weeks before I decided to buy a RAM module for my PC, I choose a Kingston
HyperX Fury 4Gb single module, here's the link:

http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX316C10FW_4.pdf

It seemed to be compatible with my sistem, even the vendor who asked for my system specs told me that , my system has this specs:

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
System Model: EP43T-USB3
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 6144MB RAM (3 modules 1 corsair value select and the other 2 Samsung)
Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640

So today I went to my local store and bought my RAM I went home and when I mounted my new RAM module in my left FSB my system went wrong. It refused to boot, followed for a couple of beeps (I investigated and found that those meant that there was something wrong with the power) and then got in a reboot loop until I pulled it off from current.

I changed the module order and then It started, but when I cheked if it was Reading all the avaliable memory, it was supposed to be 10Gb's, nope, it was onliy 3, less that when I was runnig without this new module.

I should mention that my MB supports 1333MHz and 1600 with O.C.

I would be glad if you guys help me to figure out how to make it work if posible :)

if i understand you correctly you now have 4 sticks of ram from 3 different companies? if so thats your problem. Generally different types of ram do not play well together. It is best not to mix and match
