Motherboard and memory compatibility problem

Hi,

I recently upgraded my computer and brought some new DDR3 memory for my motherboard (Asus m5a78L).

Man code for the RAM: CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 (2 x 4GB 1333 corsair ram)

The problem is that I miss read the compatibility list and this memory is not on the motherboard memory support. My PC has been crashing randomly whereby the screen would freeze and the speakers would emit a loud buzzing noise. Is there any way of getting around this problem ? Or will I simply need to get a different memory set?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

A bios update my further the compatibility list.

Hi,

Thanks for the help ! I'm sorry I've been in hospital so only just got the replies. We found that the memtest on each and both sticks over a period of 4 hours showed no errors, although we may change the volatge to and from the sticks.

We believe however that the problem is cooling, as the cpu fan may have been pointing in the wrong direction meaning alot of hot air was culminating above the ram. Also after doing a standard gpu test yesterday where the max temp would go to 72 degrees, trying it today it went all the way to 98 degrees Celsius...

Thanks for any help !

I'd be inclined to first remove the memory you bought, and then run Crucial's memory scanner, which will scan your system and give you accurate advice as to what is best for your system.

98c!?!? That's near boiling lol. That wasn't cpuz was it? As that recons my core i5 is at like 112c at idle lol real temp gives it a more believable 37c lol

yeah 98 lol it is using HWinfo and CPU-z giving both the same readings =S
