After Installing New DDR3 Memory/RAM, PC won't power on

PapaShand · Dec 19, 2015

I recently installed new memory, upgrading from 2x2gb sticks of Remington 1333Mhz DDR3 240 Pin RAM to 2x4gb sticks of HyperX Fury 1333Mhz DDR3 240 Pin RAM. However, now this new memory has been fitted my PC's LED's come on but nothing displays on my monitor, and when i put back in the old memory it works fine again...

My Specs:-

Msi G41M-P25 LGA 775 Socket Motherboard
(Manual - http://www.manualslib.com/manual/602415/Msi-G41m-P25.html)
Evga 80+ Certified 430w PSU

Any more information can be given, just let me know.

Does anyone

Does this mean that the RAM is incompatible and will not work whatsoever on my PC? :/

So it seems.

Also, would two sticks of the following ram be compatible with my mobo?

RAM- 4GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-10666 Ripjaw Series (9-9-9-24) Single desktop memory module

Thanks Again.

PapaShand :

Go to the Kingston web site and access their ram selection app.
Enter your motherboard and you will get a list of supported kits.
If your ram is on the list then request a rma.
If it is not on the list, return it for a kit that is on the list and supported.

The Fury aren't compatible with your mobo. They run off PnP (not seen till the P67 chipset) and use high density memory chips - take a look at the NT series of value DRAM from GSkill,

Should work fine, yes

PapaShand · Dec 21, 2015

Sorry to bother you again tradesman, can you 100% guarantee if either (or both) of the below memory module kits will be compatible with my motherboard?

Komputerbay I'm not familiar with, and the KIngston state 2 'matched' sticks indicating (by model number) originally sold as 1 stick packages, so no I can't guarantee either of those, though would prob lean to the Kingston if it were me to try
