Recently got new RAM Memory, BSOD on startup, even in safe-mode
Hello guys and girls,
New poster here. So, as the title says I bought some new RAM Memory today (Kingston HyperX 2x_2GB DDR3-1600) to get some extra speed.
My other 2 RAM modules are also HyperX. Should be no biggy I thought.
So I inserted my RAM, booted up my PC and it worked. CPU-z recognised my RAM and even a dxDiag showed I had 8GB.
Later today I tried booting, and during this process the following message popped up:
"Memory has changed!!! Please enter Setup by pressing F1".
Pressed F1, MSI-Motherboard BIOS Interface popped up, saw it auto recognised my RAM and saved and quit (No changes were made).
So the booting process continues, till it gets to the graphical appearance of the Windows Logo on Windows 7. It stutters, freezes and a flash of the BSOD appears and it reboots.
I have tried several things, like setting my RAM speed and voltage to a set amount instead of [AUTO].
I have tried removing the new modules and trying it again with the old ones.
I have also tried booting with only the new RAM Modules.
Nothing works, not even Safe-Mode. Everything gives me a BSOD so I can't access anything, not even post a screencap of it.
I hope someone can help me with this particular problem.
My specs are:
MSI Z68A-GD65(G3) Motherboard
MSI 1GB N560GTX-Ti from nVidia
Intel Core i5-2400 3.1Ghz per core
60GB OCZ SSD
1TB Samsung HDD
(Old)RAM Modules: D3 4GB (2x 2GB) 1600-999 Blu, Kingston HyperX
(New)RAM Modules: D3 4GB (2x 2GB) 1600-999 Blu XMP
Both RAM Modules have the K2 KHX Notification added to them.
Kind regards,
Zubaja
