I recently purchased a HyperX Fury 8GB 1600MHz stick of RAM. Yesterday, after finding out that my mobo wouldn't allow it to run at 1600 (capped at 1333MHz), I decided to use it in conjunction with my other 2 sticks of RAM (2x2GB running at 1333MHz).
It ran fine, I used my PC for a full day. I wake up this morning, turn on my PC and it does this weird start, lights on for 2 seconds, stop, repeat. It also caused a power outage in my house (tripped the fuse box). I use an extension lead with surge protector but this didn't stop four separate power cuts upon hitting my PC's power button.
I took out the new RAM and the PC ran fine with the original 2 sticks of RAM. But I wanted to use my 8GB stick, and it wouldn't work by itself so I reset CMOS (both physical ways) and since then my PC would blue-screen just before the login screen. The last time I tried booting with just one stick of the original RAM and it caused another power outage. Any advice would be very much appreciated. I should note that I don't have any spare parts readily available to test.
Thank you in advance.
