Hi my motherboard is Gigabyte Z68-AP-D3 updated to the latest BIOS (2012 version)
My old RAM is 2 x 4GB G.Skill RipjawsX 1600Mhz and new is 2 x 8GB HyperX Fury 1866Mhz.
When I try the new RAM (single stick, double, different channels, all combos) I get a boot loop.
But when I mixed it with my old RAM, using it as a boot stick so to speak, it boots up - currently running 1 of each in different channels and it is showing 12GB (new 8GB + old 4GB)
The RAM is not defective as I've tried it on a different newer PC and it works and I tried the RAM from the new PC on mine and I still get the boot loop. (Same Fury RAM but 4GB version)
It seems unusual to me that the RAM works but won't boot with it, is there any way I can get it to work properly and is it safe to use it this way?
Thanks
