Just upgraded from 4GB to 16GB of RAM on my wife's computer (used mainly for photo/video editing). Got the new 4 x 4GB DIMMS in (made sure was same speed, etc. as current), after taking original 2 x 2GB DIMMs out. Got power back on, the mobo light comes on and when I push power the CPU and case fans start up for about 1 second before turning off, then about 5 seconds later the whole system comes online but is not 100% stable (seems to lose power and reboot itself once she opens Photoshop or any other program).
I have tried adjusting the voltage on the BIOS to 1.64V (this mem recommends 1.65V), no effect.
Have tried using just 2 DIMMS instead of 4, no change.
Tried using 1 DIMM, no change
Put OLD memory back in, and same problem now (wasn't there before). Put only 1 DIMM of old memory in, and still have same problem.
MoBo is ASUS P7P55D-E LX.
The PSU is a Corsair 700W PSU that we got just a year ago and worked fine until this. Unless it decided to fail right when I got new memory, hard to say for sure that it's the issue, and since changing PSU is a really involved process I want to rule out other possibilities before trying that.
Thanks in advance!
