I've recently purchased some components to upgrade my computer and I'm running into an issue with upgrading ram.
My basic computer was purchased several years ago with the following specs:
Power Supply 700 Watt Velocity Micro® Power Supply
Motherboard eVGA™ Z68 SLI, Intel® Z68 chipset ATX Motherboard
Processor Intel® Core™ i7-2600K processor, quad 3.40GHz cores, 8MB Cache
DDR3 Memory 8GB DDR3-1333 Dual Channel Memory (4 x 2048mb)
PCX Video 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 560 Ti, GDDR5, PCI-E 2.0
I recently upgraded my GFX to a GTX 970 without difficulty. I just bought the following ram:

and I'm having trouble installing it.
When I replace my old ram with the new ram and try to start the computer up it goes into a "quick restart" loop where after 1-2 seconds it shuts off, then starts up again. It is too quick to be able to get to my BIOS screen.
When I go in my BIOS with my old ram it says it's running at 1.5V (for the RAM), which is what the new ram says it's required.
Is anyone able to confirm whether or not this new ram is compatible? If it is, would you suggest returning it and getting a new set?
Thank you so much
