System:
windows 7 64bit pro
motherboard: MSI z68ma-ed55 (latest BIOS update - 1/9/13)
cpu: i7 2700k
ram:
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR @ CL9-10-9-28 1.5v
&
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C9D-16GSR @ CL9-10-9-28 1.5v
The 2x8gb is the upgrade... I figured it'd all work fine because it's the same thing, just 8gb instead of 4gb. Apparently, that is not the case.
I can run either set on my mobo and it starts up, but I CANNOT run both sets at once.. It'll just sit with monitors on standby. (Before I updated BIOS, it would loop reboot)
I HAVE tried many different combinations-- setting DRAM settings manually, clearing CMOS, upgrading BIOS, but these two different sticks are NOT compatible on my system. any ideas??
