I installed it on Asus CROSSHAIR III but my PC wouldn't boot and screen is off! I installed back the old memory and it worked fine. what should I do?

Check the installation. You need to make sure they are not placed directly side by side. There needs to be a blank slot between them. You should also check the specifications to make sure they are comparable.

Your system board will only accept up to 1600mhz. This memory is 1866mhz. It is not compatible.

You may have a a defective stick of ram. Check each stick of ram independently in each available slot. Verify that the motherboard supports the speed and size of ram that you are installing. If all else fails return ram to manufacturer or amazon for refund or exchange.

Check your ram slots and make sure they are fine you maybe should press your motherboard reset button

When you upgraded the ram without the boot booster how long did it take to start up? I'm pretty sure i installed the ram right but it doesnt seem to be booting up.

Will it work? Yes. Perfectly fine? No. Why will it work? Because of Asrock's page for that motherboard which says Supports FSB1333/1066/800/533 MHz CPUs Supports Dual Channel DDR3 1333(OC) . Now for the not so perfect. First lets cover OC. I don't know your level of experience so I I have to cover the basics too. OC stands for over-clock. The overclock of those memory modules is done in your BIOS(setup) when you first turn on the computer . You can navigate there with Delete(usually) or F2. They will otherwise run @ 1066MHz because the Amazon page says F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL. It's a simple variable change in your BIOS. Nothing challenging. Will you get the full 8GB? Absolutely not. A 32bit Win 7 can handle a maximum of about 3.5GB but when I used these babies in my beast of a computer, BEFORE I upgraded to a 64bit OS my computer could only utilize 2GB. Your experience will vary, 8GB for for almost $80??? I spent under $60. You can upgrade to a more modern 64bit OS and the computer will automatically use the rest of the ram but you may need to adjust your memory speeds again after you upgrade or install to a more appropriate version. There are only 2 DIMM slots so no worries with installation issues.

If I remeber correctly, it has to do with the BIOs not being up to date. Try updating the BIOs first. Or check to see is the ASUS AI Suite isn

I think so. I have not been able to get mine to work as when I get in bios and set it up nothing happens. Have problem getting into bios and nothing seems to work. Think it is perhaps a bad board.

I purchased this board with corsair memory, and it did NOT work. I'm not sure about your model of ram, but my corsair vengeance 8 gb dimms were not compatible. Call Asus first, and make sure your ram works with this motherboard.

It didn't work when I tried it with Linux Mint 16. No assistance on Asus website. Didn't pursue the matter further.

That happened to me. I needed mad driver updates, and if you download those and it still doesn't work, (if you hopefully have a warranty) you can send it in and they'll get your software up to speed. I got my drivers here. http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=V500CA&p=3&s=495 You can try finding the specific one you want, or download all of them in that category.

G.Skill memory, while fantastic, is not compatible with this board. Check out Memorystock or some other similar site for memory that will work. I have had exactly the same issues myself. Once I got compatible memory it fired up like a champ.

I wish that I could answer this with 100% confidence, but I can't. I'm guessing that you won't have any issues as it has all of the proper timings and settings. The install is very easy, so I would just try it out. Do give the system plenty of time to boot. First time I booted with the new memory, I "freaked out" a bit thinking that the system wasn't going to boot - AGAIN - with a memory upgrade. I had tried some other memory that I had laying around.... that was a flop! It did boot, it just seemed to take a bit longer than the first time. Good luck!

Check Apple support site. Look up your computer model. That's where I found the information regarding what to do with my particular model. Then I purchased the correct ram cards and everything worked as expected. Perfecto!!!

Suggested Ripjaws above did NOT work on mine. Tried 4 different types of 8gb (Corsair 1333 and 1066; Gskill 1066; Atech) NONE worked, 1066 nor 1333 variants. Returning MB as a result.

Hello, I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance? Thanks.

I have my 8350 FX ASUS Sabertooth windows PC. It's a storage drive atm. I tried putting windows on it but, I gave up because I was tired and didn't want to re-install all my driver and stuff again. I had windows on this drive and it worked. I removed windows and am using it as a storage drive and such because I'm not wanting to take the time to get all the drivers again. It work just great!

I just wanted to thank you! I had "newer" drivers than this and the would not work! I used your method and it turned out perfect. Thank you so much. I hope you are happy knowing your headache has saved many others :)

It actually works great with the Asus VI FORMULA LGA 1150 Motherboard! You can leave it at stock or choose the 1.3 xmp profile in ez mode to 2133 which is way too easy!

Did you press f2 on restart? Not on initial start but bring it up then do a restart. I know that sounds weird but that is how I got my HE to see the 2GB memory. Hit the f2 key multiple times to get to the BIOS screen. When I installed the 667 mhz memory on my HE the vids were choppy, I replaced it with an 800 mhz and the problem is gone. Maybe I got a bad module, who knows?
