First thread yeah!
I have quite a big problem. I just built a new rig, these are the specs btw:
MB: Asus Rampage IV Extreme X79
CPU: Intel Core i7 3820, s2011, 3,6GHz
GPU: Asus GTX690-4GD5
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1200w
MEM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 16 GB
4x4 GB - DIMM 240-pins - DDR3 - 1866 MHz / PC3-14900 -
CL9 - 1.5 V
And the problem is that I can't reboot. Every time I reboot my PC it totally doesn't do anything (after shutting down) what it does do is give me an error code 65 on my motherboard (RAM not found?) and the MOBO speaker (which will be taken away later) gives me LONG-SHORT-SHORT beeps. It happens at about 75% of the reboots, so about 1 in 4 it does actually work. Turning on works 100% of the time.
I do know that my memory isn't on the official RAM QVL. However I thought that shouldn't really matter.
I didn't change any bios setting which have to do with memory (or CPU for that matter) but the problem was from the start anyway.
I do know my memory can do 1866 while my CPU can only do 1600. But I thought that shouldn't be a problem. Also my motherboard supports extra memory power input via an EZ plug, that is there I think for OC'ing the ram, and I did try to connect that, but that doesn't help at all. I hope there is something in the bios that I can change to fix this? I have no experience with overclocking anything (yet) so please treat me as a noob.
I really hope the answer isn't buy new ram because I happen to friggin love this ram because of the LEDs.
BTW I'm dutch so feel free to correct any spelling mistakes.
