Hi all, im having trouble with my new ram sticks, i just bough 4 ram sticks of 2133mhz 4x4gb corsair vengeance, but when i set them to work at 2133mhz the pc simple just dont boot, i already tried to increase the dram voltage, manually set timings, overclocked my cpu to 4.2ghz , cpu northbridge running at 3.0 ghz, ht link is running at 2.7 , i dont have any problems with the overclock on the cpu or on the northbridge or the ht link, i tested them with the ram memory running at 1666mhz and everything worked fine, also i played some heavy games such like gta v , pubg and star wars battlefront 2 , everything worked fine, but the problem is when i try to increase the ram speed to 2133mhz, the pc wont boot, and when it boot, the windows crashes to bsod with different random messages, also my motherboard is not intel, it does not have xmp, it supports ram up to 2133mhz, but with overclock, so i need to increase the baseclock to 266 to make the ram work at 2133, but it does not work, the motherboard its a m5a99fx pro r2.0 and the cpu is a phenom ii x6 1100t , sorry for my bad english

Please include/list your specs like so:

GPU:
PSU:
OS:

Next, mention the make and model of the PSU and it's age. Also, which version of BIOS are you on for your motherboard? Mind sharing a link to the ram kit you purchased? Might want to read through this in case you didn't understand why you're having issues with DDR3-2133MHz.
