Kingston Fury 16Gb (2x 8 GB) 1866 not working on GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3

[rohit1189]

Hi Guys,

I have GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 and currently have 8 GB(2X 4 GB) corsair vengence 1600 on my system. I got Kingston Fury 16Gb (2x 8 GB) 1866 for cheap and was looking to upgrade the ram. But when I insert them I just get beeps like no RAM is present. If I Put back my old ones it boots fine. I also tried single sticks, did not work. Am I missing something? or my motherboard and RAM are not compatible?

THanks

Do you have the latest BIOS? Also what CPU. The Fury operate off PnP and should be fine (depending on CPU might downclock to 1333 or 1600), but many Z68's never got a lot of BIOS support

My CPU is Intel® Core™ i7-2600K ...
I updated the BIOS and first try didn't work PC was restarting but was able to get it done eventually........ . But before I could check to see if PC boots correctly my HDD died.........Tried different SATA cables/ports and power cable get no bootable device error. DVD drive works for same cable/port so know that they are fine. I ordered new one
Is there a way to check if HDD dead completely? and possibly recover the data myself?

Can pop it in another system and see if you can access data
