MOBO: Asus Crosshair IV Formula
RAM: G. Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL DDR3-1600 Pc3-12800 2GBx2 (4 sticks= 8GB)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 Processor 1090T 3.2 GHZ
I heard great things about the Ripjaws memory and was excited to use it in my new build. I initially put in all 4 sticks and when I powered up the first time and got the continuous beep followed by two short beeps, pause repeat. According to the manual that came with the mobo this means no memory present. I then placed only two sticks in the red colored channels only and tried again with the same result. I then tried using the other two sticks in the same red channels, same result. I then tried each stick in the two red channels with the same result. I know that you can sometimes get bad ram, but 4 sticks all bad in two separate packages, I find that hard to believe. I have found out since purchase that the G.Skill ram I selected is not on the ASUS compatibility list for my mobo, but neither is the Trident or Flare series that many people like and they seem to make them work.
Please help, I'm really frustrated.
