Ok guys everything seems to be in order now... I updated my bios and made sure the 16 gigs were seated nice and snug. It looks like im good to go!

Update.... I put the old ram in.. 1 stick in A2 slot and still kept getting code 50... I decided to put all three sticks in (2gbx3) and its running again but only sees 2 gigs of ram?

Seems the naming convention on Amazon might be a little off. https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-12800cl7q-16gbzm This looks like the exact same ram and it days its compatible with my mother board. Do i need to flash my bios to the latest?

Hi guys. I felt it was time to upgrade a few things in my machine including ram. Ive got an asus v form z with AMD 8350. I bought 16GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-12800 RipjawsZ Series for Intel X79 (7-8-8-24) Quad Channel kit 4x4GB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0076LKS94/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_grzyzb1R2DCTK - i...

Thanks Nathan, I've already updated the drivers although I didnt do it through safe mode. This started happening on drivers that i had already installed for months without problem. Ive got a turbine pulling air off of it under it and a card slot fan above it plus a fan above, side, back and...

Hi, System Specs: AMD FX 8350 Radeon HD 5970 6 GB ram Ripjaw ASUS Crosshair v formula Z XFX 850w Win 7 64 Recently in the last few months little confetti like squares have been showing up in random windows. I tested a game (FFXIV ARR) and it worked fine highest settings so i figured it was...

Common! nobody has any idea whats going on? My thought is maybe I screwed up the thermal paste?

Hello, I just installed a new Mobo and CPU. I downloaded HWMonitor and Core Temp and both show the temps jumping around like crazy! What could be the problem? The heat sink I'm using is a Corsair H80i. Thanks!

Another question. Will I be permitted to use the current copy of Win7 on my HD or will it recognize the new hardware and deny me access? Will the second listed RAM work with that motherboard?

Oh also, I was thinking the second ram as well but will it surely work? Is there a better option? @ Tiny Voices - Yes I'm gaming with this machine. The rig i had before ran the game fine but since I'm upgrading I might as well upgrade for longevity.

by accident I made this into a answer only no discussion (I don't know how to change it back). I'm new to this board, didn't realize sorry. @ Guggi4, Is the 9370 really just an overclocked 8350? I've heard that before but I've also heard that overclocked the 8350 still doesn't run as well as...

Hello, Recently I learned the hard way what to do and what not to do when removing an AMD CPU Heatsink.. and therefore I have no choice but to upgrade. Current System -MoBO Crosshair IV Formula -CPU AMD 1090t -RAM Ripjaw 6gb 1600 -GPU Radeon HD 5970 -PSU XFX 850w I want to stay AMD I'm...

hmm, so it sounds like it is probably the socket that is ruined and not the chip? I wish i had known the turn and twist method was required. I've never removed a heatsink that has been used for so long :/. I was thinking of having them both tested by a local shop if its cheap enough. Do you...

yes, i did. and when i decided to try to reseat it, it again came out wiht the heatsink.. i think i might have put a little too much TIM due to conflicting info.
