i have been running with 8 gb 2 x ddr3 modules in my rig , i got another 2 to take me up to 16gb as its cheap, i cant get comp to boot with all 4 in , seems to be stuck in boot loop , wont post just keeps restarting.
i have tested all 4 modules as 2 x dimms installed , all are good .

i have been having problems with my psu , an old hiper 580r i am wondering if its power related as it only has 360w on the 12 volt rail ?

i have ordered a new corsair 850 watt anyway , but would be good for some advice? i have reset coms etc so its not that

Seems to be a peoblem saving settings in bios when i hit exit and save ,if i change memory settings the computer shuts of completley and fast then goes in boot loop everything shuts down .
The fans and stuff normally keep running when a save any other setting . One thing is the memory was part of a tri channel kit i bought the single stick seperate as the 1156 uses dual channel memory.
But i was told dual kit and tri kits are all the same there is no such thing as tri channel memory modules or is this my problem ?
