I bought a Asus VII maximus ranger motherboard. I have 4 sticks of 4gb RAM.They are all Corsair vengeance RAM I purchased 3 of these first but then purchased the other stick later on. When i start my PC with all 4 sticks, the PC continuously reboots.If i start with 2 sticks of RAM in my PC, It switches on fine, if i then going into the BIOS and reset the PC and while it is resetting if i put in the other 2 sticks of Ram they also work until i reboot the PC and then it begins to reboot again.What could be the issue?
 
It will be a problem with that 4th stick of RAM you purchased it would have to be different from the rest (clock speed, CAS or something) so try to buy the same stick or clock it to the same!

UPDATE: Even if the specs are the same a change in model number will cause it not to work!
 


Changed motherboard....Did you also reinstall the OS?
 
When the computer keeps rebooting its Asus's way of telling you one of the settings is not right. What are the setting on all four ram sticks. I would try and loosen the timings by 1 to see if they will all play nicely together.

Since the computer boots just fine with 2 sticks, what slots are they in? I would then shut the computer down, pull those out and put the other two sticks in the same slots and see if the computer boots up.

Also have you ran memtest86 on each stick by its self to see if one of the sticks is defective?
 


On my previous motherboard it worked.
 
This suggestion maybe a little weird but it worked for me:) when you install a new ram the best thing to do is to reinstall windows so that it can configure your pc properly again make it run at it's maximum.
 


This could be a problem of the fact you may have not seated the RAM properly, or your computer does not support the RAM.
Use http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/systemscanner to scan which RAM your PC supports. Not all PC's will support all types of RAM. You also may have one or more RAM sticks running at a different frequency.
