PC shuts down repeatedly after adding new RAM (images and links included)
Hello all, So basically the title explains the main issue here. The PC Restarts after few seconds before anything appear on the screen. I did my research and found few solutions, I tried the following: Inserting one RAM into one slot Using one RAM in one slot (Tried 4 of them) Removing Graphic card Switching between RAMs Removed CMOS Battery Replacing CMOS Battery Update BIOS Unfortunately nothing worked with me. PC Specs Motherboard : Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z68XP-UD3-iSSD Processor : Intel Core i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz Current RAM : CORSAIR 16GB (4x4GB) 1600HMz DDR3 (Using currently) New RAM : Yongxinsheng 16GB (8GBx2) 1866MHz DDR3 (New, not working) Power Supply : Everest 80plus 1010 Software BIOS : Award Software International, Inc.

The information provided doesn't confirm the RAM specification. It seems there might be a discrepancy between the stated year and the actual listing details.
Yes I'm sure, idk why I can't see it anymore too but I took a picture of the ram https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A4J6gka...sp=sharing
Are you attempting to combine Corsair memory with the YongxinSheng kit? You'll need to adjust settings manually since these kits have different frequency and timing specifications. The memory you purchased from China seems to be DDR3-1866 with 11-11-11-38 timings and operates at 1.5V. However, your BIOS images don’t show any evidence of an XMP profile being saved (such as on the modules). If this is true, you’ll have to manually configure: System Memory Multiplier to 18.66 in the Channel A/B Timing Settings, set CAS=11, tRCD=11, tRP=11, tRAS=28, and adjust the DRAM voltage to 1.500V. I’m puzzled about why you’re setting the multiplier ratio to 21.33 (which corresponds to DDR3-2133) when your memory likely won’t reach that speed. I’m even more confused because you see an image showing 16GB of memory, but it’s unclear whether that’s a 2×8GB or 4×4GB kit. In another image, 16GB appears to be functioning but only at the JEDEC fail-safe DDR3-1333 speed. Is the Chinese 2×8GB model not working at all? Could the system recognize it but run at a lower frequency? Your video displays four memory sticks, all looking similar, so I assume the 4×4GB Corsair units aren’t installing properly. The bottom locking tab seems only partially engaged, meaning the memory isn’t fully seated.
No, the Cosair are my 16GB (4 x 4GB) which were originally in the PC and functioning properly. I'm attempting to swap them for 4 x 8GB. I tried the exact configuration yesterday but it didn't resolve the issue. In a few hours, I'll review those settings again. Yes, they are 4 x 8GB and not working at all—I can't even access the BIOS. Those are the Chinese-branded 4 x 8GB RAM modules, while the Corsair are 4x4GB and working fine. It might be that the problem was only during recording, but I'm certain everything is correctly installed.
It seems you're trying to figure out how to get the system running with your new RAM setup. You mentioned testing each stick individually but still can't boot, so you're curious about the RAM slots and possibly upgrading to a higher capacity configuration.
