AMD M4A87TD EVO Mobo Memory issues

Retired
Not applicable
Hello all,

This is my first post and first build! Its all so very exciting. Ive been having problems getting my set up to boot. When i start up the system it beeps and the DRAM LED lights up. Im able to get all the way to see windows XP try and load, then it blips blue screen, the DRAM LED lights up then it reboots. Very frustrating. I have tried setting the memory manually through the bios to 1.65v and 1333Mhz, different sockets for the RAM and everything combination of the two. Im open to all suggestions!

Case: CoolerMaster HAF
Mobo: M4A87TD EVO
CPU: AMD Phenom II Black Edition Quad Core 3.4Ghz
RAM: Corsair XMS3 (2x2GB) CMX4GX3MA21600C9
Video: Zotac GeForce GTX 550 Ti AMP! Edition
PSU: Antec 550w Basiq
and HDD, CDRom, Network Card

Thanks for the Support! I hope to be able to contribute and learn as well!

Is this a fresh install of Windows, or are you carrying this over from a previous motherboard?

If it is a fresh build then use the settings shown here:

Set up the timings as shown and also increase CPU/NB voltage over 1.20V if your CPU needs it

I tried all of those settings in BIOS and it didnt change anything. Also, i just took the HDD right out of my other case and into this one so i didnt re install windows XP or anything like that.
