Computer not booting with RAM installed

[tlm1984]

Hi all,
I have tried in all configurations and I just can't get it working with the RAM in place. I have tried other RAM, and the result is the same.

My thoughts are a motherboard problem to be fixed by replacement, but i'm open to suggestions and help as I could easily have missed something.

Specs below

Intel i5-3450
Asus p8H 61-m Le usb3
Ballistix by crucial kit 8gb (2x4)
1333 pc3-10600 ddr3 cl0
Graphics - radeon hd6870

Antec 300 case
Psu - ocz 600watt

Thanks,
James

Your motherboard does support the ram, you state that using other types of RAM result in the same problem. That leads me to believe your MOBO is defected

1) try a single stick of ram, and see if that helps (try each stick of ram, in each slot, one at a time)

2) try some other PC3 memory and see if it will work in the box.

Put ur RAM, and then,
Try pressing the "Memok" switch of your motherboard for a few seconds

Tried different ram, tried different configurations always the same problem - - only boots for a few seconds and then restarts.

Sorry, where is the memok switc? .

Boots without the RAM bit still nothing on screen.

Check ur mobo's manual for the memok switch location.

It doesn't look like this board has the memok facility

It does... check this link

I think it's a different version of the motherboard. No sign of MemOK on the board or in the manual Sorry.

Alternative suggestions?

 

[CaedenV]

1) reset CMOS
2) get into UEFI and check settings, specificly XMP

3) If you cannot do either of these then it is time to RMA

I tried resetting the CMOS and I literally can't see anything on the screen?

Is the consensus that the motherboard is faulty?

Thanks for the help.
