  • Ram Upgrade No Boot - G.SKILL DDR3 from 4GB to 8G on Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2HB

    Hello,

    Hope someone can help me out here. I'm trying to upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB which will max out the motherboard. I dropped in the new chips and PC begins to boot to windows, however restarts back to black screen after a few seconds of the windows logo (win 10). Ran memtest86 and gets 25% through first test and restarts the machine. I can get into the BIOS and mess around, but nothing has helped so far. Trying the old RAM chips (G.SKILL also incidentally) and rebooting the machine works fine. Also, I believed the RAM was bad so I RMA'd them and got new ones back, same issue, which makes me think it's a problem with my Mobo / RAM combo. Here's my setup:

    Mobo - Gigabyte GA-H55-M-S2H rev1
    BIOS - R7 (just updated trying to solve this issue)
    RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 1.50v PC3-12800 4Gx2 (2 DIMMS)
    CPU - Core i3-530 Clarkdale Dual-Core 2.93 LGA1156
    OS - Windows 10

    If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. Not overclocking or anything the BIOS settings are mostly all Auto... tried to enable XMP profile 1 - no dice.

    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
