ASUS P7H55 not compatible with CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B VENGEANCE

[dimitrakis]

I have the p7h55 motherboard, and after trying to upgrade my memory from (2x1gb) to (2x4gb) CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B VENGEANCE I had an issue. I removed the old RAMs before installing the new ones , but after turning on the pc , it stucks at BIOS. I removed one of the two 4gb RAMs and turned on the pc again , but I couldn't boot up properly this time either. It restarted after trying load windows and after that it just restarts and and tries to load windows again , the second time it fails to load windows , a blue screen is showing up which says that there's an error with the new hardware (obviously...) .

RAM spec : 2x4gb 1600mhz , CAS Latency: 9-9-9-24 , DDR3, 1.5V, CL9, XMP, VDIMM

Motherboard specs : ASUS P7H55

Have you tried clearing the CMOS then installing - might also check for a newer BIOS

Look at BIOS and find your version, go to the manufacturers web page find your mobo and check in support/downloads, then BIOS and see what the latest is
