Hey All,
First time posting, got an issue and wanted to see if any of you guys could figure it out, I am at work right now but I have a good idea of what I can do when I get home, so here it goes.
I recently built a new PC (6-7 months ago) and purchased a pair of the following:
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
It gave me some slight issues on the first install, but after some adjusting I got it to work. As of yesterday, I decided to move from 8GB to 16GB since I got a another graphics card in SLI as well as a new PSU, so I wanted to up the RAM, I went with a pair of the following:
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL.
My issue is that now when I boot my PC, everything turns on (Graphics card fans, Heatsink fan, mobo lights (though the DRAM one is red), and system fans, but I get a black screen (no signal from either of my dual monitors, both say "no signal"). When I replaced all 4 sticks of 4 GB memory (16GB) with the 4 sticks of the 2 GB (8GB) nothing happened, and the same result occurred.
I pressed the "memok!" button, the red LED flashed, restarted a couple of times and then kept my PC on. I thought it was still running so I let it go, I felt my hard drives and they were getting really hot (I have 4 of them).
So what I want to know is, do these RAM sticks work with my MoBo (I have read online they are supposed to) and what else can I try to get my gaming rig back online? I know you are probably wondering the specs, so I will post them below. Thanks in advance.
Motherboard - Asus P8P67 Pro Rev. 3
CPU - Intel i5 2500k 3.2 (Turbo to 3.7, Oc'd to 4.2)
PSU Azza Dyanmo 850W
Graphics - Twin nVidia GeForce 460 GTX in SLI
Cooling - Corsair H60 Water Cooling Unit
RAM - (Above)
4 Hard Disk Drives -
1 TB
1 500 GB
1 320 GB
1 250 GB
1 Blue-ray Burner/Player
Couple things to note:
When I had received my Ripjaws (16GB) in the mail, I had also ordered 2 SATA cables since 2 of the ones I had were busted. I replaced the two SATA cables on my hard drives, as well as plugged in my blue-ray reader since it was unplugged (forgot to plug it in when I put my graphics cards in 4 days ago).
Keep in mind that EVERYTHING was working in 100% fashion prior to last night, I know this a long first post but I am just trying to be as informative as possible! Thanks again!
