Black screen after installing 2 x 8gb hyper x fury 1866mhz sticks of ram into my gigabyte ga-78lmt-s2 . I changed the clock speed in the bios from 1333 to 1866 but it made no difference. The old 2 sticks of 4gb still work fine
 
Solution
I cannot find a 16GB kit on the QVL list anf no listing for Hyper x fury, so they may or may not work.
Return the kit as I don't think they are compatible.
Here is the QVL for your MB download page: http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4643#
Go to the Memory support List.

HI ! Yeah I bought the hyper x fury brand new yesterday as one whole kit. like this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-FURY-16-Memory-Module/dp/B00J8E8ZOC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467470601&sr=8-2&keywords=hyperx+fury).

I'm about to update my bios to see if that will help but I'm not holding my breath because the last bios update was in 2011 :eek:

Crucial say that this ram (http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/ga-78lmt-s2p/CT7372520) is compatible with my motherboard. But I fail to see how this ram is different to the hyper x fury that I have now. Could you suggest why this ram is compatible, but the hyper x fury is not?

Crucial may say it is compatible but not necessarily tested by the MB manufacturer.
Best to select a kit from the QVL list I provided.
