Hello, if you can't already tell, I'm new to this forum as well as upgrading computers.

I'm currently trying to upgrade my ram from 2GB to a total of 8GB.  

 

My computer parts are as follow:

Motherboard: Biostar TH55B HD

CPU: i3 540 @ 3.06 GHz

GPU: Geforce GT 520 2GB

OS: WIndows 7 64bit

 

I did a little bit of research and I learned that my system can support up to 16GB of ram running at 1333MHz.

I decided to buy Corsair's XMS3 4GB x 2 1333Mhz ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CPad-drxx78CFc1_MgodvzoAwA&Item=N82E16820145315&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Desktop+Memory-_-N82E16820145315&ef_id=U7IhYgAABPWCYyk6:20140715175502:s )

 

After having to RMA the first set because it was DOA, Newegg sent me another kit and seemingly the same thing happened.  I tested individuals sticks and neither could boot up windows nor pass the memory test in bios. My friend decided to test it with his computer which can support 1600MHz and the same problem occurred. 

 

I'm hoping somebody could recommend me a compatible ram kit with my computer that is 4GB x 2, has a CAS of 9 and runs at 1333MHz.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you, I've also visited that website and looked at the same ram kit.  I wanted a second opinion so thanks a ton!
