Hi guys, I recently upgraded my ram. I am a beginner in terms of computer understanding so please explain a story much as you can!
Old: 2x4gb GSkill F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
New: 2x8 gb Kingston HX318C10FBK2/16
Both of which were purchased as sets.
Whenever I try and run the 8gb ram as either a single or dual stick config, get a boot loop. However, if I leave one of 4GB sticks in, I am able to load to bios and windows. The BIOS also recognises the 8gb ram when I do this (yielding a total of 12gb).
What's going wrong? I did try and manually set the timings for the 8gb ram in one slot, and boot it up with the single stick- which worked once. But after that I tried to boot it again with the two sticks, which didn't work- then once more with the single 8gb stick- which didn't work again! Putting me back to square one.
When the 4GB and 8gb sticks are combined, CPU-Z shows the speed for both at 800mhz
Other details are as follows:
Mobo: gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3
CPU: i7 2600k
Never flashed the bios as I have never been in a position where I needed to and felt as if I didn't have the knowledge to do it safely.
Thanks a heap guys
