Sounds like your Corsair memory needs to be exchanged.

Nafura,

A little bit off topic, but I see you are German! Where in Germany did you get your M18X?! I am in Kaiserslautern...

I agree with Mr. Fox, your neue RAM ist nicht gut! Are your settings/timings correct?

Must be a problem with the Corsair ram I had to return the vengeance corsair that I bought for the m18x I was getting blue screens and it failed diagnostics, I have some new stuff that should be here next week I am hoping that it will work correctly.

The Corsair RAM in my sig worked perfectly in my M18x R2.

Make sure you download and run memtest86+ to validate if the memory is bad - this will help your case when you work with Corsair support, as well.

@sk3tch
The ram in your sig is a 1600 not 1866
The same Corsair Ram 1866 in my M18xR1 worked perfectly, in my R2 no Boot.
What should I do to sell the 1866 and buy an 1600?

Did you contact Corsair to see if they can help? It's unlikely that you can return them at this point - so maybe Corsair can help you via warranty.

Is your processor, or is it going to be, overclocked? If it is, you might don't want to use the XMP profile since it will over volt you ram.
