I've recently bought a new pair of ramsticks, because I wanted more speed, lower latency and more RAM. So I've bought the G.Skill GTX 2x8GB DDR3-1600 sticks. The first few days everything went well. Now, my computer freezes reguarly and after freezing, it refuses to boot. It feels like I have to be lucky that the pc starts up, so I've openend the computer, start my computer up and noticed the red light next to the memOK! was burning. So I tried pushing the button, but this doesn't work. Immediately when I push the button, the computer resets. Then it goes into a red flashing cicle (resets +/- 4 times, everytime the red light flashes faster) until its continue flashing the red light again.
When I'm ''lucky'', I get the screen that the overclocking failed, and that I have to go to the BIOS. But I haven't OC'd anything, because my mobo can't OC.
Now I'm on my computer again, but I'm certain it will freeze up again, unable to boot until I'm ''lucky'' again.
Now I wonder, is it possible that I have a bad set of RAM sticks? Or is it possible that there is a compatible issue? Because I've switched between RAM brands (from Kingston to G.Skill), can it help to re-install Windows (altho I doubt that)?
My mobo: P8B75-M LE http://
The set of RAM sticks: G.Skill F3-1600C7D-16GTX

I have 3th gen Intel i5 3570 (non K) CPU. Thanks for any help.
