Corsair 16 GB (2x8) 1600 and Intel DH55HC Motherboard

[enguia]

Hi, please I can use some advice ..

When upgrading my system memory (from 2x2 GB kingstom to 2x8 GB Corsair) I am facing some problemas.

Install the memory, everything fine. Motherboard boot, enters setup, ok.

But when starting Windows 8 64 Bits, right after the loading logo system crashs and Windows restarts the computer

Have already tried to boot from a USB for a fresh W8 installation but same problem occurs when logo screen appears.

Weird thin, this machine is a dual boot with Linux (Ubuntu). Ubuntu worked just fine with the new memory, no complains.

Follows my hardware configuration. Have alreade entered bios setup (after updating bios flash), tried to configure memory, voltage, everything according to corsair memry label but same problem continues

Have already tried to resert bios and to increase voltage for memory

Have no more ideas, could anyone please help ? Any clue ?

Thanks in advace,

have you tried running one of each stick?

One may be defective

Thanks for your attention.
Yes, this was my first clue .. tried each stick at a time, tried diferente slots, channel, every possible combination with he same result .. boot to bios, boot to ubutu, REBOOT on Windows ..

Thanks anyway

DH55HC doesn't support more than 4GB per DIMM, which means the maximum your motherboard can have is 16GB of RAM (4x4GB). your ram sticks are fine but not compatible with your mobo.

You also need older DDR3 made with low density memory ICs (chips), might look to the GSkill NT series of value DRAM, manufacturers moved to high density memory chips in late 2010/2011 so sticks with low density ICs are hard to find
