Hello, six months ago I bought a G.SKILL desktop memory, and I've been having some troubles with it since then.
First of all it's a problem related to my ignorance about the subject and not the product itself.
The product I bought was the Ripjaws X 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1866MHZ (F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL) (http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-14900cl9d-8gbxl)
And my motherboard is a M5A97 R2.0 which I didn't realized it wasn't compatible until I bought both products.
The problem is that when I try to start my PC with the two modules, it wouldn't work (the computer starts but have black screen evertytime) then I tried with a single module, and it worked "fine". After I tried both modules in each of the 4 slots in every possible way, and realized that only one module would work.
The task manager showed me some different frequencies (1333, 1600mhz) and some heavy gaming later, only with 1 module, the PC would restart or freeze with a buzzy noise.
After trying some stuff, the only thing that solved this problem was setting the frequency to 2133mhz, (really don't understand why this solved the problem). However everytime I try to start the system with the other module the problem persists (black screen) and the MemOK light keeps blinking.
Later, after reading some websites I tried things like changing the voltages, etc. But none of them worked.
So, my question is... Is there any way to make this build work out? Can you give me any advice?
My parts are:
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Ripjaws X 8GB (2x4G) 1866MHZ
AMD FX-6300 Black Edition
EVGA 600B
R9 380 GAMING 2G
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my english.
