    Hi folks,

    From what I've found on the forums here so far, people seem to have had pretty good experiences getting the Kingston HyperX ram working on their Z's... Mine worked for about a couple hours last night, and then my machine just started rebooting. Now, it doesn't make it past the "Starting Windows" screen before it reboots. Plugging in the stock 3GB RAM results in a perfectly fine computer... and I'm on the latest R2xxx BIOS as well. So before I contact Newegg to refund/RMA the HyperX ram, I wanted to see if you folks might be able to offer any advice on something I might have missed?

    Thanks!

    Try to burn a disk of Memtest86+ and see if those HyperX can pass the tests. (Preferably more than 9 passes)
