I revisited my purchase records from when I bought the cards and found this listing instead on Amazon from Corsair's store. The item is CMK16GX4M2B3000C15, likely a single letter change that might have altered a 4-pack into a 2-pack. Or perhaps I misread it, though I was careful not to make mistakes.

They were unable to, since the alternative model was a 4 times larger FOUR GIG kit, while yours uses 8GB DIMMs. You simply cannot obtain 8GB DIMMs from a package that includes only 4GB DIMMs. Nevertheless, your unit is indeed compatible with your motherboard, as confirmed by the Corsair memory finder tool. Proceeding, when you performed a "fresh install" of Windows, how did you actually carry it out? Did you execute a CLEAN installation, removing every existing partition on the target drive during the setup, and then allowing Windows to create all required partitions and complete the necessary formatting, or did you opt for other methods such as restoring from backup, system restore, refreshing, resetting, etc.? Could you have used a third-party bootloader like Rufus? And were all other drives disconnected except the source and target drives? How To - Windows 10 clean install tutorial If you're searching for a Windows 11 Clean install guide, you can find it here: Windows 11 Clean install tutorial (Click here). Alternatively, welcome to the Windows 10 Clean install tutorial. This guide is designed to walk you through each step of a clean Windows installation... Forums. Assuming a clean install was completed, replaced the power supply, verified compatible memory, and tested the drives, it's time to dig deeper. You mentioned testing the memory—did you run Memtest86 and completed all four full passes of the 11 tests? Memtest86 Visit the Passmark website to download the free USB Memtest86 version. If needed, use the optical disk version as well. Generate a bootable media from the downloaded file. In your BIOS, set the system to boot from the USB drive containing Memtest86 or the optical drive if using that option. You're welcome to use Memtest86+, which recently received updates after years of inactivity. However, for consistency, the Passmark version is recommended as a reliable tool, especially since I haven't thoroughly evaluated the newer 86+ release. You might consider using Memtest86+ as a secondary verification alongside Memtest86 and tools like Prime95 or custom modes for additional assurance. Click here to download the Memtest86 USB package Create a bootable USB flash drive: 1. Download the Windows MemTest86 USB image. 2. Right-click the file and select "Extract to Here" to place it in your current folder. 3. Launch the included tool, which should already have the image selected. Choose the USB drive you wish to make bootable. Be aware this will erase all data on that drive. For optimal results, ensure no memory fails during Memtest86 when set to default configuration—either by performing a full CMOS reset (removing the CMOS battery for five minutes) or adjusting the DRAM voltage slightly. Run four complete passes of all 11 tests with the memory in its default setting before applying XMP profiles. The paid version includes 13 tests, while the free version covers only tests 1–10 and test 13. Always use the latest Memtest86 version. Memtest86+ remains a solid alternative for independent verification. Should any errors occur, it indicates instability in the memory configuration. You may need to adjust the DRAM voltage slightly or modify primary timings. Few secondary or tertiary settings require change unless you're fine-tuning performance. If passing four full passes with default settings fails, consider restoring the memory to its standard JEDEC SPD (1333/2133mhz) and running Memtest86 again with the default profile. If successful, proceed to Prime95 testing. If it still fails, attempt a voltage adjustment within the safe limit for your memory type, then retest. Persistent failure suggests a physical issue—consider running Memtest86 on each module individually to isolate the faulty one. Replacing only one module instead of the entire set is advisable to avoid using mismatched memory. Keep in mind that testing memory at default non-XMP settings with Memtest86 is crucial before making any configuration changes, so you can confirm whether the issue stems from a setting or a hardware problem.
