Nope. Didn't know something like this even existed. I'll give them a try at my next break between holiday parties! Thanks. Update: I had a talk with a veteran gamer/pc builder who was able to dumb things down to my level. I realized that more RAM doesn't mean more voltage. Subsequently, I tried a couple lower settings, 1.5 and 1.375, but still no post. |

1. Pair off your two 8GB(2x4GB) Kits by consecutive s/n's
2. Plug one kit in and using CPU-z look at the SPD tab. Take a screenshot of BOTH sticks SPD in CPU-z by selecting each stick individually using the dropdown box in the upper left corner of the program. 3. Swap that pair out for the remaining pair, do the same two screenshots of SPD tabs of these two sticks 4. Now, compare the columns and rows of the four SPD tabs you have now. They should be identical. They MUST be identical. Any difference(s) that might exist is very well your issue. --- Let me know what you observe in the above. We then might proceed to using MemTest86+.

Well, that was interesting. First pair, no problem. Second pair, no post. I removed one stick and it booted right up. I'm guessing I got a bad stick. I continued with the test as per your instructions and all columns (for the three sticks that work) are the same.
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I need to contact Corsair about this stick. btw, I looked for a way to add "SOLVED" to the thread title, but didn't see how. Also, I ran the MemTest86+ while I went to dinner. No issues with the three sticks. |
