In Aug 09 I bought:
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz @ 3.80GHz
Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P Motherboard
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Bundle
While playing games seeing my RAM usage get to 80-90% is fairly common so I decided to buy 2x 4GB chips. Back in September I bought:
Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B)
After installing the memory my system would not start up, I spoke to OcUK customer services we tried various ways to get my PC to boot but it wouldn't.
I did get a refund and haven't bothered trying any more so I was wondering if you guys had any idea as to why the memory wasn't compatible or if you could suggest any memory that might work. Thanks
