That is the compatibility for memory for my Asus m5a97. I unfortunately have bought 16gb of corsair vengeance 4x4. I was told this would work and a review for the mobo said he had 16gb of corsair vengeance but he had 2x8. I want to know if this would be causing my system to not do anything when I have the power supply on and pressing the power button. I don't think my power button is faulty because i have tried to contact the pins with a metal screwdriver and its still not doing anything. I have also tried to power it without the ram and with the 4 different rams i have singly. The strange thing is that when i do have the power supply on I can press the Memok! button and the whole system comes on with all my fans and LEDS. After it all turns on the DRAM LED light blinks at the same speed and I don't know if I have a speaker but I do not hear any sounds. I've looked it up and have found no information about a consistent blinking dram led light. I'm pretty sure everything is connected right. I had help and also used and doublechecked the mobo manual. I don't think its the case shorting it out but I could be wrong. I do know that I have all the little screw things(sorry dont know the name) that extend out to rise the motherboard into place. What I want to know is my RAM responsible for all of this or do I have a faulty mobo? Also, if anyone can help me with any further troubleshooting it would be great. Thank you for your time.
