I am trying to upgrade the memory on an ASUS P5G41T-M LX Motherboard. The board is running perfectly fine on the Kingston Value 2x 2gig sticks that I originally put in it, but need to upgrade it to 8 gigs of memory instead of 4.
The board takes DDR3 240 pin memory modules and is supposed to able to support 8 Gigs of memory. I recently purchased this kit of 2 x 4 Gig sticks Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 1333MHz CL9 8GB DIMM Memory Module (Kit of 2) put them in and no joy, the computer will not boot so therefore they are incompatible. Very strange I must say as these I think are pretty damn good sticks.
I have just been on the ASUS website looking at their memory suggestion sheet and was quite surprised to see them actually recommending set of 16 Gig modules for a board that can only support 8 Gigs, and right now I can only run it with 4 Gigs. So I was wondering if anyone has ever had this board and run it with 8 Gigs of memory in it, because for the life of me I cannot see why that Kingston set I am now having to send back did not work.
