Hi, so I need help on these.
1) I originally have a single stick of plain 8gb of DDR3 1600mhz CL11 RAM from Apacer (no fancy heatspreaders). I thought it would be cool if I add a 2x4gb kit of G.skill Ripjaws 1600mhz CL9 thinking it would be a nice upgrade but after installing them, there's no display upon powering up for at least 10 seconds, then my pc would just bootloop every 2 seconds. I took out the old RAM and it booted but says "Overclock failed. Press F1 to configure etc." Seems like they weren't gonna work together, and I'm stuck with 8gb. Am I screwed or is there anything I could do to make them work together eventhough they're gonna be at lower latencies. The kit is currently running on xmp profile no problems so far. I'm using stock BIOS for my mobo. 2) I just installed a new EVGA GTX 1060 3gb card and I found that everytime I sent my PC to sleep, it would just reboot itself upon wake up, as if windows crashed or I got a BSOD without being able to see it. Any Ideas how I could fix this? I put it to sleep a lot.
Some ideas of what I should do would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: I got the RAM running. It was simply a matter of putting the RAM in the right slots. I got Asus to help me out and did a little bit of research and found the solution. Thanks for helping out!
