Hi all, Ive just bought a new 8gb ram kit which is identical to the one I already have. But when I install it into my pc it just goes into a reboot loop. I removed the new sticks and the pc boots and runs as normal but as soon as I put the new sticks in it just goes into the loop. The ram is 1600Mhz Crucial DDR3. Would anyone be able to tell me what the issue is.

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Can you get into the BIOS to see if its detected correctly? 

Since you said its a kit, try one of each kit (Old and new) to see if maybe its just one stick. But it does sound like both kits are not actually identical... 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

Would you be able to tell me how to do that? Thanks

When you first boot the computer, you get a screen that has something from the motherboard maker on it (if its a prebuilt, it would be the brand, ex: Dell or Asus, if you built it it will be the brand of motherboard.). That screen gives you the option to go into a setup menu of sorts, usually by hitting one of the function keys (F2, F11 and Esc are most common.) If you do that you can see the hardware installed.

Try looking in that to see if all of your RAM is detected. If not it may be faulty.

First, try reseating the RAM in the DIMM slots. If that doesn't work, remove any HDDs/SSDs (while the computer is turned off), take one RAM stick, put it in the A1 slot, and try booting into the BIOS. If you don't have any storage devices plugged in then it should boot to the BIOS by default. If this doesn't work, try each other slot with that same stick of RAM; and if that still doesn't work do the same thing with the other stick of RAM for each slot. If this doesn't work for either stick but you can boot into the BIOS when you put the old RAM back, then your new RAM is bad.

Have you tried just the new RAM kit?
