I got an ASUS Z87 Deluxe, i5-4670K earlier and decided to try better RAM and got a set of F3-2400C11D-16GSR (2x8GB, 2400). It booted up OK the first time but ran at 2133, which is the setting for the previous RAM. I used XMP and manual settings and it will not boot at all. POST gives an error, "Overclocking failed press F1 to enter setup". Still no boot.
I switch off the PSU and restart cold Windows 7 may get to welcome, maybe desktop then it blue screens (BSOD) with the error 0x124, which is hardware related, maybe needs more vCore. I added some vCore and RAM voltage, up to 1.6875V but no joy.
I then tried the 2400 in my Sandy Bridge PC with setting to 2400, no boot there either. It would boot only after BIOS fooled around restarting a few times and Windows started and RAM was 1333, 13-13-13.
Is it possible I have got a bad set from GSkill after have 6-8 good sets?
