PC boot loop with new RAM

[Grogar]

Hi guys, so recently I have started to have memory issues on my PC due to heavy chrome use whilst running a game + VLC. I decided to buy 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance to go alongside the 2x4GB Vengeance I already had in my PC. When I plug in the new memory my PC continually tries to boot displaying error code 51 before shutting down and then repeating. My two sticks are currently running in 1 & 3, and it will do the same boot loop with the two original sticks plugged into 1 & 2, so i'm guessing it may be a dual channel issue? Do I need to enable dual channel in my BIOS in order to run my new memory?

 

My system is as follows:

 

MOBO: Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB x2

CPU: Intel i5-3570k

GPU: Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660

 

Any help to get the new memory working would be greatly appreciated!

Last time I added RAM and got a boot loop, I had left the back fan's cable stuck in the CPU fan.

 

 

EDIT: Yeah it's not your problem probably, but it just might be worth taking a look for any little mistakes like that.

Currently running the PC fine with the original memory so its nothing like that! Thanks for the tip though

Well it wasn't so much a tip as sharing my experience with weird problems and recommending a quick look-over lol. I'm not able to help with anything more though, so I'll just slide on out of the thread. :unsure:  Good luck!!
