I pulled a no brainer on this one. Intel DX38BT motherboard, Intel q6700 processor, Windows 7-64, Two sticks of Corsair CM3X1024-1333C9. System was working fine. I had 4 sticks of G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL and I pulled out the Corsair memory and put in 2 sticks of the G.SKILL.
I don't believe that memory is compatible and that resulted in a no-boot. Just 3 beeps and that is all she wrote. Pulled out the G.SKILL, put the Corsair back in and all it will now do is give me 3 beeps.
How much damage have I done?? Did I just confuse the BIOS or fry the motherboard? Or something else. Best guesses please. Looks like the Intel DX38BT only supports DDR3 SDRAM Frequencies: PC3-6400, PC3-8500 and PC3-10600. It sure did not like this PC 12800. Thanks in advance.
