New memory not working

[Junaid_6]

I bought the following ram

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252526262264

My mobo is an Intel dq67sw

I installed the ram in slot 2 and 4, nothing shows on screen.

I installed 1 in 2 and it works (both tried alone in slot 2).

If I switch back to 2x2gb in slot 2 and 4 it's all fine.

Help please D:

Near the end I meant I installed 1 module in slot 2

DO you have the latest BIOS? Might try resetting CMOS then installing......also what CPU cooler do you have?

 

[Junaid_6]

Not sure on bios, and not too sure on cooler it says EKL on it, its a normal stock looking cooler

Can boot to BIOS and get version number or get free app CPU-Z and look in the CPU tab for version #, then check your mobo website for latest version

Okay I reset CMOS and it actually loaded but now it goes into automatic repair after a boot loop

Read your motherboard manual.
It will direct you to where less than 4 sticks need to be mounted.
Sometimes the slot positions are not obvious.

It is not clear to me that your new ram is compatible.
I do not see it as a listed option on the apacer web site for your motherboard.

Sometimes there are bios updates, and ram compatibility is a frequent reason for them.
Be careful if you update the bios, a failed update can brick your motherboard.

Since you have tested each stick and it works ok individually, it is unlikely that the ram is bad.

If you have the option in the bios, try increasing the ram voltage a notch; sometimes that can fix multiple stick issues.
Ram needs to be matched as to characteristics to work properly.
It looks like this is not a single matched kit.

If all else fails, return the ram.
Look for a matched kit that a ram vendor warrants is compatible for your motherboard.

Should I buff it to 1.6v?

How can i update my BIOS if windows 10 isn't an option in the download area ?

Should I buff it to 1.6v?

The standard for DDR3 ram is 1.5v. You could try 1.52 if that is an option.

The motherboard manual should have instructions on how to update the bios.
It is best to do this outside of a windows environment. Typically with a cd or usb device.

Don't want to risk bricking it so il just return the ram.

Don't want to risk bricking it so il just return the ram.

Probably a good idea.
Go to a ram vendor web site like Kingston, corsair or g.skil.
Enter your motherboard in their ram selection app and you should get a list of compatible kits.
Then, if there is any problem you will get support.
