Hi all,
I have upgraded the memory on my system today and have since had problems.
The issue is since adding the new memory the system boots no problem, can access bios and POST but a few seconds after the OS(Windows 7) starts to load(so black screen with spinning logo) the system turns off, then restarts, then loops that process.
i have tried to re-install windows, but again, boots ok, boots off CD but the as soon as the installer gets graphical same sympton as above.
its obvious the RAM upgrade has done this, clearly. But i was unde the impression this combination of hardware would ok.
Can you see any issue with this?
Intel Board -

Intel CPU

Corsair RAM - 16GB
2 x 8GB sticks of DDR3 1333Mhz

i am guessing the memory is not compatible with the CPU, there is mention of the memory being compatible with the 2nd and 3rd gen dual platforms. But thought i had that...
Any help would be appreciated!

When designed 4GB sticks were the max for these mobos - we're talking 2009 or so
