Soulman84: If this is a New Build it could be that you have non-compatiable memory for AMD. There has been quite a lot of people that over sighted the need for specific AMD tested memory. If I ntel memory is ised... What Model number sticks do you have? Are you installing in the "First two lanes closest to the CPU (Black ones)? Plus, although AMD CPU's can OC to 1600 memory in most cases, it has little to no real benefit for 1333 based AMD CPU's. Don't let that be a problem because they run fast on 1333 (or less). You can set your 1600's to 1333 like I did when I tested and learned. Specificaly I have seen several OCZ Memory AM3 topics, look up your model number (search) and see what others have done.
Hope that helps you.
