Hello,
I've recently bought new 16Gb (2x8 Gb) memory sticks. Their model is "Hyper-X 16GB DDR3 2400 MHz CL11" - HX324C11T3L2/16.
I've found that they're running at 1600 MHz instead of their 2400 MHz... I've searched around a bit, specifically a bit on these forums but all I've come up with that people tell to change it in the bios... Which I did, but after changing the memory frequency multiplier from 16x to 24x (to get the 2400 MHz), the entire computer wouldn't boot. When I tried to boot it again, it ended up booting for 3 seconds, the fans turning on and then it closes immediately, and going into a loop of turn on for 3 seconds then shutting off again.
I have no clue what to do at this point and any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm very new to this so I am not very experienced on this whole ordeal, so please bear with me.
These are my system specs, since I'm sure they'll come in handy.
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP
CPU: Intel Core i7 3820 @ 3.60GHz
RAM: 16.0GB Hyper-X DDR3
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. X79-UD3
GPU: Nvidia GTX 690
Thanks in advance!
