Hi first time on the forums as I'm looking for some help.
I have a Gigabyte X581-ud3r rev2.0 with 6GB (3x2GB) of Corsair XMS3 installed. I have purchased another 6GB of exactly the same memory but when it is installed the PC refuses to boot.
This is the second batch of memory I have had. The first batch had a bad stick as I could boot with 10GB but it refused to boot with the 3rd one installed. This time I cant get it to boot with ANY extra RAM installed.
This is where I'm puzzled though: I replaced one of the original sticks with a new one, and hey presto PC boots normally. The original memory is in slots 1-3-5 (white slots) but as it was booting with 10GB less than a week ago I can only assume the mobo is fine, and its a setting somewhere but I do not know what I need to look for
Im posting here as the original system was an overclockers Ulitma Viper (i7 950 oc'ed to 4Ghz) and I dont know if it is the overclocked settings in bios for the ram that is an issue.
Id be grateful of any advice.
