RAM upgrade - PC won't boot

[ShaunOfNintendo]

So I recently purchased 16GB (2x8GB) of DDR3 RAM from Kingston (The Hyperx ones) to replace the 8GB (2x4GB) of RAM in my PC.

 

After I replaced them and powered on the PC it stayed in for about 7 seconds then turned off. 3 seconds later, it tried to turn on again and stopped after 7 seconds before trying to start up again.

 

I can't even enter the BIOS. I've never seen this happen before, anyone know what might be wrong?

 

Before it turns off, the LED on the Mobo showed C0.

Try only one stick of RAM and if that did not work, try the other stick.

Like that you can find out if the problems is any one of the sticks, both or just the combination.

OFF your PC, pull out the plug, see the battery on your motherboard? (the one that looks like a shiny biscuit), take it out, count to 10 seconds, put it back and on your PC (after plugging back everything)

i'd try re-seating the ram before clearing cmos, and blowing in the ram slots (without spitting in them obviously), ram is a pain in the ass where dust is involved

 

and like another person said, try one stick at a time

So, not sure what the issue was. After a few times of attempting to boot it up it just worked eventually. No kidding here.
