I am using Intel i3-530 on Intel DH55TC Motherboard. The motherboard supports RAM with highest frequency of 1333MHz. However, I was told that using a higher speed RAM wouldn't hurt the system. So, today I bought a Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600MHz RAM. The RAM is detected in BIOS, but OSes fail to boot after that. Even Ubuntu throws Kernel panic error while booting. I tried to run MemTest but, when run, the screen becomes garbled after a second or so. Could anyone help me with the BIOS settings required to run this memory stick?
OS fails to load after installing new RAM

The Corsair are more than likely made with high density memory chips which aren't compatible with your mobos chipset, need to look at an older line of DDR3 made with low density memory chips like the GSkill Ripjaws (original not the X or Z line) or their NT sticks
