I realize there are so many posts and ive been reading and reading to try and fix this thing. But i cant seem to get windows running after installing some new ram. Looking at the cmos setup utility, i can see my ram is being read. Ive tried and tried to change the frequency and the timing but it doesnt change it after ive saved the settings. Ive checked the motherboard out..it supports the amount of ram. Ive got the 64 bit i5 processor which supports the ram i have.

On startup, it rapidly beeps at me for a few seconds, turns off, turns back on, and tell me it failed bc of my frequencies and stuff being off.

What the hell am i doing wrong?

Trying to install 2x 8gb 1600mhz ddr3 10.10.10.27

Motherboard is a gigabyte ga-h55m-ud2h

I5 660 processor@3.33ghz

It does get to the BIOS though on the new RAM? How are you getting into the RAM options to change them? On the old RAM?

Did you try different brand /model of RAM? Maybe something specifically from the supported list from the vendor https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H55M-UD2H-rev-13#support-doc

On another website i posted someone said that my motherboard had a max of 4gb in each slot. So im on my way to pic up 4x4 rather and trading my 2x8. Either way 16gb is the max so if thats not the problem then ill solve it from there.

I went back and got 4x4. I tried 2 sticks, then 4 sticks, neither works. Ive updated the bios. Every time i try to set it to the xmp1 it gives me an error saying system has experienced a boot failure because of overclocking. Current cpu speed 2.8 current bclk 133 mhz current memory speed 1333mhz

Wait a second, so the system works fine till you set the XMP profile? Don't change it from the settings that do work then.

No. Nothing works. But im assuming xmp2.0 ram doesnt work on xmp1 profile? If so thats the problem. None of my new ram has worked. Period. Oc or not oc.
