Around four years ago I purchased a computer from Scan 3XS Systems. It has been fine up until this point where I wanted to get new memory for the pc.
I do know quite a bit about computers but due to the case it has been nothing but a issue trying to swap out the memory on the micro atx motherboard.
I purchased HyperX HX318C10FRK2/16 FURY Red, 16 GB, 1866 MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM (Kit of 2) from Amazon and it has been so difficult to deal with swapping out the old memory and putting the new in. When we first installed the new ram the pc would turn on but would not post and the DRAM LED was staying a solid red color. I attempted trying one ram stick at a time to see if it would post but it still wouldn't still showing the DRAM LED with the solid red color. Next I attempted to put the old ram back in and enable the XMP profile as I was thinking that maybe the memory limit of 1600mhz that the i5 4690k can use needed to be adjusted?. The old memory still works in the computer.I made sure the profile was enabled and proceeded to switch off the computer and install the new ram. However this time it began to go into a boot loop. The dram led was not on anymore however there were No post beeps or anything. I read online that resetting the CMOS battery can help so I tried this as well. This proved really difficult as the battery was places right next to the fan. But once taken out and replaced it just repeated the first issue where the pc would boot but not post. I also made sure that the power option is on balanced. The ram is not on the QVL however I have read that this isn't updated often and someone with the same memory had a fine experience matching it with the Z97I mobo
My system specifications are
i5 4690k
Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR3 RAM clocked at 1333mhz
EVGA GTX 970 Superoverclocked
2 TB HDD
120 GB SSD
ASUS z97i Plus Motherboard
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
