I really need some help with this, its driving me INSANE!!!!!

My rig is old...
Intel Core i5 650
motherboard GA-H55M-S2V
2X2GB=4GB total KVR1066D3N7/2G 1066MHZ
NVIDIA GTX 560
WIN10 X64
******************
Everything begin with my power source not working, which now is new 600w
So since I went and bought a new one I though why not upgrading the dram.
I bought 2x4GB=8total of HX316C10F_4 1600MHZ and install but win10 says:
"Kernel Security Check Failure" and it restars and boot in a loop.

So a read many forums from here and tried many stuff and since I find out that my cpu just handles 1066mhz or 1333mhz memory, I went and change the dimms to some dram that specifically states in kingston webpage that work with this motherboard: ( KVR1333D3N9/4G ) right.

So I came home and install and same thing happens, let my tell you what I have done since then:
1.- with either dimms the first ones or the ones that I have now the XMP profile never showed up, so I cant load that option.
2.- tried system without 1 dimm it didnt start (nether of them).
3.- both dims work because they were tested when I went and make the change and they worked just fine.
4.- when I enter the BIOS it says that its reading the 1333mhz memory just fine but in the advanced memory options it shows 1600MHZ. I change from auto to 1333mhz (not working), I change from auto to 1066mhz (not working).
5.- I clear the cmos (not working)
6.- I took the gpu of the system beacuse I read it could be something related to nvidia drivers (not working)
7.- When I load up system with previous set of dimms 2X2GB=4GB total KVR1066D3N7/2G 1066MHZ everything loads up just fine.
8.- the motherboard supports up to 8gb of memory.
9.- tried to load up win10 disk for reparing (it wont load up)
9.- decided to clear install windows but not without first trying some other OS's first
10.- tried Ubuntu (it wont load up)
11.- tried win xp it does install, it reads only 4gb of memory from the 8 install. (I figure out that any OS' that supports x64 would not be working)
12.- tried win7 x64 (it wont load up)
13.- tried win8 x64(it wont load up)
14.- all ready but again tried win10 x64 (it wont load up)
15.- tried too set up the memory parameters manually to be match exacty with the ones of the 2gb dimms that do work. (it wont load up)
16.- other stuff that i tried and forgot to mention, update bios to F1 (it wont load up), f2 (it wont load up) and f3 last update(it wont load up)
emmmmmmm
I may have tried some other stuff that I dont remember right now, but no matter what I do in the BIOS specially in the "Advance Memory settings" under "system memory multiplier" it still shows "SPD" to be 1600MHZ no matter if I have the "auto" option or any manual multiplier.

That's what i think is breaking everything here, because when I install the 2X2GB=4GB total KVR1066D3N7/2G 1066MHZ under that same setting it does show up the 1066mhz, and everything works fine, but when I install the new ones again "tested", and certified to work for this motherboard by kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G instead of the 1333mhz its showing 1600 mhz and system wont load up, and no x64 OS' wont even load initial settings at all.

I'm going crazy!!! Can someone please help me!!!

Judging by the age of your system I'm going to say that you've migrated to Windows 10 via the upgrade path while you were on your older ram set/kit. I order for your system to operate with the new ram you'll need to revert to Windows 7 populate your ram slots with the new modules, reinstall your OS and then upgrade to Windows 10. Now as for your issue with the ram timings/frequency, have you tried lowering the frequency down to 1066? Have you tried removing CMOS battery from motherboard and retrying with the new ram kit? Have you also tried using just one of the two sticks of ram getting into BIOS and setting it as 1066MHz then dropping the second stick of your HyperX kit and later getting into BIOS to verify and input frequency and timings for the system.

There was one thing you'll need to know, you'll need to set the Windows 7 USB installer as the first bootable device in boot order while you have UEFI HardDisk Microsoft Windows as second in order to use the bootable installer. The reason behind that suggestion is that the upgrade path will generate an activation key for Windows 10 that is then bound to your hardware. If you change any component in your system with an upgrade installation of Windows 10 then the OS sees it as a completely new system, cannot verify it with Microsoft's database and thus refuses to boot into OS or go past BIOS.

First of all thank you very much for answering.

Now let’s see about what you mention…. When windows 10 came out for the first time I was running windows 8x64 with the old ram ( 2X2GB=4GB total KVR1066D3N7/2G 1066MHZ ), I did make an upgrade to windows 10 x64. After a couple of months after that upgrade I was asked to set a dual boot on the machine because somebody needed to worked with windows XP, and also of course I wanted to keep Win10 x64 installation because of some videogames.

So I backed up everything and format disks, make partitions, and make a clean installation of WinXP in one part, and a new not upgrade, clean installation for Win10 X64 in the second partition.

Of course Win10 worked out the dual boot and I had both OS’s without any problems.

The issues with the ram timings….

1.- Yes I have tried to lower the frequency of the ram to 1066mhz, but that didn’t worked out because even though bios detect the rams frequency and the beginning of the system boot as 1066mhz 8gb, Win10 refuses to load up and shows same error and reboot in loop.

2.- I did tried to remove CMOS battery and replace my ram but same thing happens.

3.- I also have tried to use just one stick, but when I tried this in particular the BIOS wont star up, in this case it’s not Win10 because system didn’t even boot at all, it stops in the BIOS and I can even tried to access BIOS with just one stick because BIOS simply won’t worked ( so this is the worst case ), when use both sticksof ram, BIOS don’t have any problem but Win 10 does.

Now…. Lets see …. About the bootable device, yes is set up to be the first bootable device in boot order, but the thing is this, ( I guess ) i don’t have any problem in formatting everything and upgrade from Win7 to Win8 or directly to Win10, the problem is that if I tried that ( which I have) is that “Win7 x64” refuses to initiate the installation set up. If that was the case, I’ll do that and from there with the new ram installed in Win7 I’ll tried the upgrade to Win10 and the whole thing would be resolve, but beginning with Win7 x64 system refuses to installed, no matter if it is from USB drive, dvd disk, or anything it just won’t install because it shows same message and reboots in loop.

Now a different thing is if I installed Win7 x32, Win8 x32, or Win10 X32 because the installation in fact worked, obviously because of the limitation of the architecture even if the BIOS tell the system that there are 8GB of ram installed, X32 just recognized 4gb, and boots without any problem at all.

Now I don’t know if even though you formatted the disks and make a clean installation, that Windows whatever version is able to located a file or something that is reading from somewhere that leave a record behind about the type of hardware that is installed in the machine, so even when I erase everything entirely and I installed any Win7, 8 or 10 X64 version is preventing the installation to continue. From what I know that is not possible.

But let me go even a little further…. I formatted everything and make a clean installation of Ubuntu x64, guess what!!! it won’t boot either, that is just simply not possible.

From all this for me it means it necessarily had to do with the BIOS, and this is where the timings had to do with all this.

When the system boots with the old ram ( 2X2GB=4GB total KVR1066D3N7/2G 1066MHZ ), it reads the memory and reads 4gb of memory “4135mb … 1066mhz… OK” as an example and then when I hit the F12 key to go in the BIOS, then I go to advance settings of the memory: it shows 1066MHZ - 1066mhz the first one is what the system is recognizing and the second one is for you to manually change that to other speed right. So in this case everything works fine.

When I installed the 2x4GB -DDR3 1333MHz KVR1333D3N9H/4G at the beginning when the system boots it shows “8835mb … 1333mhz…OK” for example, and then in the same parameter as before, advance settings of memory in the BIOS it shows; 1600mhz -1333mhz.

And so for me it’s like if the motherboard got stuck somehow with on the 1600mhz speed when I installed the first 2x4GB=8total of HX316C10F_4 1600MHZ in the first place. And after that when I went and change the ram to the ( 2x4GB - DDR3 1333MHz KVR1333D3N9H/4G ) correct one, now the motherboard somehow got stuck on the 1600mhz speed and refuses to read the correct 1333mhz speed of ram that I’m trying to install and that is causing a problem with “any” x64 OS.

Normally anyone would thing that by resting the BIOS to its default settings by removing the CMOS battery would do the trick so the motherboard would just read the memory correctly, but that is not working and thus preventing any x64 OS to initiate even when its just for installing ( At least that is my theory ) and I don’t know how to solve it.


Again thank you for answering if anyone can help me this I would really appreciated

What about this?

What about if I install WinXP on a formatted disk with the ( 2x4GB -DDR3 1333MHz KVR1333D3N9H/4G ) new ram. Now from within Win XP I then tried to run the Win7 X64 startup installation???

Do you thing that from way over there meaning WindowsXP then a x64 OS like Win7 would be able to initiate the set up and finally load up???

Or do you think is something else related maybe to the BIOS????
