I recently purchased new Hyper X Fury 16GB RAM and it wont work. Whenever I boot up my pc it starts beeping and there is no way I can reach the BIOS. When I switch back to my old RAM it works fine. My current motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-H77-D3H-MVP. All help would be appreciated.
 


Unplug the power cable then you can either short the CLR_CMOS pins which is in the bottom right area of the board, or just pop the battery out and wait a couple of minutes.

If it still doesn't work you could try flashing the latest bios if you are still running an old version.
 
If you don't know how to short your jumper or really what CMOS is all about, I would recommend having a professional help you out. Any changes to the BIOS such as refreshing or updating it, could potentially cause your computer to be practically unusable. If you do try to clear the CMOS yourself I would advise extra caution.
