Hi folks, so i have a p67 pro 3 asrock motherboard with 16 gb of hyperx ram and a 3570 i5 cpu recently not long ago i got a gtx 1660 for relatively cheap it all worked well until today when i tried too boot up my pc but it keeps turning on and of it runs if i swap out my memories so i figured it is a memory problem so i had another pc with a b75 chipset and 4gb of corsair ddr 3 memory and it ran with that ram module for like 2 hours fine then when i tried starting the pc again same problem with that memory too now i thought i try in the other pc the corsair ram and now even that pc wont boot
So my question is, is my p67 motherboard killing my rams? The b75 mitherboard pc run just fine before i plugged in my main pc the corsair ram now none of them work
Tried 3 different cpus 3 psus nothing seems to work
 
I think you may have already answered your own question...

Were you unplugging your power supply (or at least turning it off) before you switched the RAM each time?

If so then... yeah... your motherboard is probably killing your RAM. I mean you could buy a third and fourth set of DDR3 and see if it kills those, too... but I think your board has already made its point.

As for WHY it would do this... I guess there's a billion reasons why. But none of them matter.

Another p67 motherboard couldn't cost more than 20 or 30 bucks at this point...

And since you have to buy new DDR3 RAM anyway.... might as well pick up a new p67 while you're at it.
 
Tomorrow im gonna go get some ddr3 memories i think im gonna use my b75 asrock motherboard until i get an upgrade things are a bit thight now anyway thanks for the reply
