Hello, I recently ordered this kit from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231311
I am using it in my new HTPC build with this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813121507
And if it helps, I'm using this CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115077
The RAM kit is DDR3 1333 1.5V, and the motherboard accepts DDR3 1333 1.2-1.8V.
When I had the motherboard (with cpu/heatsink already installed) screwed into the case, I put the RAM in, and hit the power to test it. I got 3 short beeps from the PC speaker, then the computer shut itself off. I tried using just one stick on DIMM 1, then the other stick. It didn't work with either. Looking up my error messages from Intel's site ( http://downloadmirror.intel.com/1948...01_English.pdf ), they are telling me that 3 beeps then shut off means a memory error.
I have used G. Skill in the past and hold your products in high regard, so it's hard to believe BOTH sticks could be bad. Is there something I'm missing here?
