I just build a new system with an Asus P8Z68V Pro, i5-2500k, G.Skill DDR3-1333 (2x4GB) replacing on older P5BE/E6600/DDR2-800 system. Win7/64 HP on an Intel X25-M SSD (80GB.) BIOS 0902, and for the purposes of this post, the BIOS was pretty much default settings (no OC) except for some minor tweaks for splash screens, etc.
I received as a warranty replacement some AData DDR3-1333 ram (2x2GB) which I added to the current system for 12GB total ram. Unfortunately, the system wouldn't post. I noticed the red LED for DRAM was illuminated, so I pushed the MemOK! button until it began flashing, watched it cycle through several iterations until it remained on steady again.. still no post or boot.
So I pulled the Adata ram and the system booted up normally.
Any ideas why adding the Adata DDR3-1333 ram would cause the system boot to fail? Are systems today so critical that they cannot tolerate same spec ram from different mfgs?
