I just got DDR3 G.skill 2400mhz (2x8) 16gbs of RAM for my computer. Had to reset the BIOS/ motherboard because it wouldn't boot with new RAM. PC booted but was stuck at downgraded BIOS. Reset the computer 5 minutes later and somehow the BIOS updated its self and PC booted. (I can tell because the downgraded BIOS picture looks different)

I checked the BIOS to see if the RAM was working which it was,but only running at 1333mhz. So I tried to up it to 2400mhz and it did not work. Checked motherboard specs and it can only go up to 1866mhz. (Sabertooth z87) So I had to reset the BIOS again.

Now my BIOS it stuck at the downgraded version and will not update again. Every time I try to replicate what I did before won't work, and the PC is stuck in a endless loop with no beeping.

Unsure what to do at this point, im just trying to replicate what happened before. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for typos and weird sentences, using new phone and not use to it.
