h55m-e33 - not booting past post

[yardglass]

Hi all,

i'm currently having trouble booting up my MS I- H55M-E33 MoBo after installing 8GB ram, it boots up, then shuts down after getting the confirmed beep, then does it again and again.

But when i remove one 4GB ram stick out, it seems to boot up fine with just 4 GB

Could it be low voltage or not enough, or could it be my BIOS that needs to be flashed again?

I'm currently running bios AMI v1.A (pretty sure its up to date)

CPU - i5 661 - 3.3ghz
Chipset - Intel - havendale/clarkdale host bridge
MoBo - H55m-e33 (socket 1156)
Ram - G.Skill-NT DDR3 2x 4GB (1333) - 9.9.9.24 1.5v
GPU - radeon hd 6670 - 2gb sapphire
OS - win 7 64-bit

Best bet is to try and see if it will boot with each stick by itself. (Use the stick that is not in the computer right now by its self and see if it is capable of booting the system) this will make it easier to see if one of the sticks is bad, or if its an issue trying to use two sticks.

Hey thanks for the reply, I've been doing that for the last day and they both work fine, it just sends it into a boot loop for 4 times then boots windows 7 up normally, ive just never seen behavior like this before.

Have you tried both sticks using slot 2 & 4, or 1 & 3 if you're currently using 2&4? Could be lint or something else in one of the slots causing the issue, or a bad slot possibly?
