H55W-S2V RAM issue

[MythAdrian89]

The problem is as follows: I bought a Fury HyperX 4GB DDR3 - 1600 CL10 240 - Pin UDIMM, tried it on my computer (motherboard Gigabyte H55W-S2V) together with a 2GB Kingston I have from the beginning and when it gets to windows loading, it freezes, restarts and everything goes like this on and on. When i tried to put the new RAM's alone, it blocks at the first screen, before even booting, and it restarts on and on.

After doing a lot of stuff which I will mention in a bit, I thought it is a compatibility problem so I changed the HyperX with a Kingston 4GB, DDR3, 1333MHz, Non-ECC, CL9, 1.5V. I figured the 1333Mhz and CL9 are more close to what I had before. The problem remains the same with no change, so the memory is not the problem.

I want to specify that with the old rams (one 2GB and one 1GB) the computer works just fine.

Things I have tried:
- i have updated BIOS to 3-rd version and then 2-nd version, which was supposed to help with the new RAM's, but it didn't help in this situation.
- i changed the frequency and voltage up and down, one by one, and tried pretty much all the possibilities.
- i reset the CMOS by removing the battery for 2 minutes.
- i tried all the possible combinations between my RAM's (new one + each of the old ones, new one alone).
- i tested a new PSU, thinking that mine might be failing, with no success.

I am thinking this must be a motherboard problem..so please let me know if I'm missing something here.

Great thanks!

If the old ram works just fine then it is the new ram not the motherboard.

If the old ram works just fine then it is the new ram not the motherboard.

I doubt that. I changed the memory with another one, as i said in the post, and the problem is still the same. More than that, a friend of mine (with some other motherboard, of course) tried them for me and they work just fine.

I read the Gigabyte information from the website and, as far as I saw there, there are very few 4GB RAMs supported by this motherboard, so I am thinking I might need to make some specific settings or updates other than updating the BIOS in order for them to work. If anyone knows anything about it please reply. Otherwise I will just return the RAM's and go with it like this till i change the whole system...

Thank you!

What CPU are you running? It is all in the CPU and what it will support without OC. To get the memory to run right. Plus it sounds like you are trying to get the 1600 to run with I think 1066 or 1333 memory.

I'm sorry but I have to say this, but it isn't about you. It is about everybody that buys memory. People before you buy memory see what the CPU will support and don't go by what the mother board is tell you. If you are not going to OC the CPU a little. Then go by what the CPU will support.
