Hi,

Recently purchased a set of 2x 8gb kingstion hyper X fury 2666MHz RAM sticks to increase my PC's RAM from 8 to 24 GB. I checked the manufacturers website against my motherboard and these sticks are compatible.

However when I installed them, the computer enters an infinite boot loop. Black screen and no response. When the new RAM is removed the PC functions as normal.

Specs
i5 skylake processor
GA-Z170MX gaming 5 motherboard
MSI Nvidia gtx 980 ti
Corsair H100i liquid cooling
2x 4gb 2666 MHz Hyper X fury RAM
evga 850w powersupply
