my mb supports it?because i bought the ram recently and when i tried to run it the mb didnt post and the only way it did was if i usd the older ddr2 ram.

my cpu is intel core 2 quad q8200,the ram is corsair ddr3 1333mhz 8gx3m1a1333c9.

Thats what I fugured! The issue lies in the modules construction and your MB's chipset. The P45 chipset can use memory modules made with no larger than 256MB IC's. And the modules you have are made with 512MB IC's making them too dense for the BIOS to see. So that is why neither module will successfully POST on that machine. So basically they are incompatible.

 

As of now most if not all of Corsairs memory is made with the larger chips now. So unless you can find older stock somewhere it might be hard to find memory for that system. Sorry, I wish I had better news for you.
