HELP GA G41M Combo Rev1.3 can not boot with kingston hyperX KHX1600C9D3/4G *2
old memory was KVR1333D3N9/4G *2 boot fine
I buy memory from memory support list in gigabyte website KHX1600C9D3/4G but it fail to boot
why? ???

IMHO ,owing to the KHX1600C9D3 didn't have XMP profile ,
so the KVR1333D3N9/4G and KHX1600C9D3/4G is exactly same memory sticks if running @ 1333 v1.5 .
and you shouldn't overclock the KHX1600C9D3/4G (@1600 v1.65) together with KVR1333D3N9/4G.
If running at 1333 v1.5 ,you shouldn't meet any problem, though.
Are you sure you had given the exactly model of your hyperx ddr3 ?
some of the model has xmp profile, and the mobo might auto overclock your whole system , including CPU.

the memory kit is KHX1600C9D3K2/8gx 4g*2
do i have to update MB bios?

Maybe you should try to clear the cmos ( bios) first by using the jumper of the mobo, after you had inserted your XMP stick .

I have exactly the same problem. I bought two KHX1600C9D3/4G DDR3 modules. They're listed on Kingston website as compatible with g41m-combo.
After replacing my old DDR2s with the new modules all I got was long beeping sound. I tried resetting the CMOS but it does not help.
So far my experience with DDR3 modules on this board is very bad, I tried 3 different types (before buying the "compatible" modules) and none worked.
