Hi,

I have installed my new ram kit into this motherboard.

Spec,
i3 3.2ghz
6450 ATI gfx
600W PSU
4x TB
1x SSD

I have the Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3503#sp

and

Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL9 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black
http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9.html

I am running server 2012, i have changed the ram from single channel bobby basic stuff.

Now i cnanot boot into Server 2012, i get blue screen or crash.

Can you see any issues with that ram working with that motherboard.

run memtest to see if there any errora on the memory

look and see what amount of dram voltage and qpi/vtt voltage is used in the bios

try with 1.3v qpi/vtt and 1.55v dram v,then see if it boots up and doesn't crash

I tried the above and still unstable.

try with 1.35v qpi/vtt and system performance enhance on standard

installed the sticks in a staggered install? as in first ram slot empty from cpu socket, install a stick,third slot empty,install a stick

ohh and before all of that be sure to run the latest motherboard bios

Hi Wazza,

ive tried all of the above. Even with a single stick i am getting crash when it starts to load server 2012.

Im thinking about returning the ram, i dont think its the ram tho as its guaranteed to be compatible on all Intel platforms.

i would RMA it and get another set state that you ran MEMtest and it was still unstable
