For that CPU, you need low voltage DDR3L RAMs. It might be that the CPU memory controller got damaged. Try RMA-ing the CPU, maybe board too, and replacing the RAMs with compatible DDRL modules.

Try also clearing the CMOS, if you haven't so far.

Hi Alexoiu. It worked. I have a question though. Thank you so much. My savior. You saved me 100's.. Why is it that the computer can run 8gb of ddr3 ram but not a full 16gb? Yes, I know its supposed to be ddr3l but why has the 8gb been working for this long and not affected the cpu?
