dead ram?

[shujin]

hi I think I have dead ram but just to verify I post here ^^ I have the gygabyte z97 gaming 3 as motherboard and a little g3258 as processor my current 4gb corsair revenge work in that but when I put ripjawsX F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL (8gbx2) the system don't seems to see them at all and it just reboot without even reaching the bios I have tried those two in every position possible on the board just to see and it's not that either I have also tried only 1 stick it change nothing. So if you have an idea tell it cause I hate using warranty and if I can avoid to do so it would be perfect.

Can you test the RipJaws in another PC?

If you can't even get into BIOS then it seems fairly likely that they're broken.

Try taking the battery out of the mobo for 5min to clear the cmos. Sometimes, the cmos kept the old hardware setting, which it would cause the bios check to fail

If they aren't working in any of your rigs I dare say they're dead. If they are still under warranty you should get them replaced, otherwise I fear you may be out of luck.
