Yannick38 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hello, I have a 5 years old PC with an MSI P55GD65 motherboard. I wanted to change the RAM. Here is the old ones: G.Skill , DIMM DDR3,2*2 Go running at 'PC10600' Frequency (This is 1333MHz right?). And here is the new one I wanted: 2* Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333 MHz, DDR3, 4 Go, 1333 MHz, 9-9-9-24, 1,50 Volts, CMX4GX3M1A1333C9. After change the PC just won't boot. No sound, nothing. I have tried a replacement of the of one with the new ones (one of the DIMM slot is unaccessible due to the cooler) I don't understand why it is not compatible. I have checked on MSI website: https://fr.msi.com/product/motherboard/P55GD65.html#hero-specification The frequency compatibility, type and voltage. May be it is not a memory issue, but in the end it is the only thing I changed. Any idea is welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Art Posted February 29, 2016 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 29, 2016 Are you saying you are trying to run the old modules (or one of them) with this new module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannick38 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hi, I am trying to replace the RAM. I don't wanna use the G.Skill RAM any more. Instead I wanna use the Corsair CMX4GX3M1A1333C9, on an MSI motherboard. Ah here is the misleading part: "I have tried a replacement of the old one with the new ones (one of the DIMM slot is unaccessible due to the cooler)" sorry for the tippo...

This module should technically be low density and be compatible with your set up. Do you have the motherboard's bios up to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannick38 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I did'nt made any update on the motherboard. So, i would say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yannick38 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hum. It seems pretty complex to upgrade the bios. Do you recomand any website ? I have seen at leaast 3 different ways to do that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen at leaast 3 different ways to do that ? You should be able to find info on the motherboard manufacturer's website, along with instructions in it, or the manual itself.

Yannick38 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 End of the story. I dismounted the processor blower and set is straight. Then changed the RAM. it worked. The explanation is most likely due to the processor blower which tends to fall on the wrong side. Thanks you every body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
