Ahoy,
I've had a look at the other treads on this topic and can see they are relatively customised to the specific build. That said, I've tried all the common actions (listed below) and thought I'd create a new one.
So, the current build:
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
RAM: Kingston HyperX Blue DDR3 1600 1.5V 2Gb x 4
Then some other stuff....(ask if you think its relevant to the question).
I'm wanting to swap out the 4 2GB sticks with some new RAM I've purchased:
Kingston HyperX Fury Red DDR3 1833 1.5V 8Gb x 2 (HX318C10FRK2/16)
I've been removing all the previous sticks and putting the new ones in slots 1 and 3. This caused a boot loop, so I tried again with just one stick in 1. Again - boot loop.
Since then I've tried a number of things (Clearing the CMOS and manually updating the BIOS with the old memory in to reflect the new speed, then restarting with the new stick in).
So far as I can tell, the RAM is supported (Gigabyte doesn't have a comprehensive list but it adheres to the general RAM guidelines and is also not flagged as incompatible in pcpartpicker.com).
Anyone have any ideas on what I should do next? I'm not sure how to go about a memtest if the comp won't boot up with the new RAM in it, and when I revert back to the old RAM all 4 slots seem to be picking up and functioning ok.
Thanks
Dave
