Hiya, having some problems here.
I have a Gigabyte 775 mobo, model GA-P45T-ES3G. I have been using 16 gigs (4x4) of Ripjaws X F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM memory which has been running very well for over 6 months. No problems so far. However I am building a new machine-2500k, GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3P, etc. I will be taking that 16 gigs out and using it for the new machine.
And here is the problem. I bought a set of different memory-Sniper F3-10666CL9D-8GBSR to go in my GA-P45T-ES3G and for about 8 tries it wouldn't boot at all. I couldn't get to a bios screen and I had steady beeps from the mobo speaker. Finally got into the bios and changed the settings (9-9-9-24, 1.5v, 1333). However Windows wont load at all, locks up to a blank screen. After several failed boots I got in to the bios again and changed all the settings to their defaults, can't remember exactly but I think it was 10-9-x-9, not positive, but it didn't matter, after that I could never get the machine to boot.
Went back to the Ripjaws and after a few boots and some setting changes everything running fine with 2 or 4 sticks. Unless you know something else I can try, is it time to RMA the Snipers? I would return them as DOA to Newegg, but I bought them some time ago in preperation for my new build. FYI, the system WAS overclocked before I started this process, but I went to default settings (q9550 at 2.83, voltages stock) as soon as I could get back into the bios the first time.
