pc restarts after installing new ram

drummurderer · Nov 19, 2015

Hello everyone !!!

I recently bought a new pair of ram kingston hyperx 2x8 1866Mhz to replace my old 2x2 1600Mhz (kingston hyperx as well).I have a gigabyte ga-p67a-d3-b3 motherboard.I installed the new ram, i opened the pc and it shuts down after 2 seconds.Then , it is continue to turn on also for 2 seconds and then off by itself .It keeps going like this until i turn off the psu.I tried to remove the cmos battery for half a minute and put it back but it didnt work.I sent the ram back to the store to check if it was faulty but they sent me back and said to me that its ok.So, i put again my old ram to get here and ask for help.

Thanks !!!

Are you installing your RAM in the lanes correctly and also is the RAM fully compatible with the motherboard??

I thought the same as breakingfelony. Ram may not be slotted in properly or you haven't put them in the right lanes. The first time I built a computer it would turn on then off and the ram just needed a wiggle and I heard another click and the pc ran.

Usually on motherboards now the slots are different colours to show with are the first dual set of slots.
Like my motherboard has 4 slots, so they would be white blue white blue so I would stick my 2x4GB into the white ones.

This kit is compatible with p67 motherboards and also the motherboard can take maximun 2133Mhz and i think i put it properly because when i put my old kit back it works normal.

Could you try the RAM kit in another PC

Wayfall · Nov 19, 2015

What breakingfelony said as then you can rule out if the ram is faulty or if there is a compatible issue

What's the model of the DRAM? What CPU (want a K model to run 2133 normally)? Do you have the latest BIOS (if the Kingston are the Fury line they operate off PnP, which isn't well covered in early BIOS versions)

I will try them also in another pc. The model of the new ram is HX318C10FK2/16 (yes its Fury line) and my cpu i7 2600k.I have the latest BIOS (updated via gigabyte BIOS utility).

Any suggestions?

I have exactly the same problem. Have you found any solution yet?

breakingfelony · Apr 27, 2016

Try testing the sticks one at a time and see if it boots and check your lanes aren't damaged at all

breakingfelony :

It's not the problem, both are perfect.

Maybe it is your motherboard then if your sticks are fine. You know anyone with a motherboard that will support your CPU??
