Solve : New RAM not working? |
|
Answer» I have a pc with a Gigabyte EP45T-UD3LR(Socket 775)motherboard which has 4 RAM slots and is supposed to be capable of 16GB total RAM. I have 8GB now-2 sticks of 4GB DDR3L-1600 UDIMM 1.35 CL 11. I ordered 2 more more sticks of same, down to the brand-Crucial. Installed the RAM and computer powers up but doesn't boot, shuts down then tries again...repeats....Help?Is the RAM on the MBoards QVL list ? ? I'm going off a scan done by Crucial that says the RAM is compatible. And it does work with 2 4GB sticks, but with 2 more of same, for total of 16, is doesnt.What RAM is in there and what RAM did you buy ? ?It had 2 - Crucial 4GB DDR3L-1600 for total of 8GB. I bought 2 more of same exact THING. I've been on Gigabytes site and Gigabytes owners manual and it says the vendor(Crucial)is on the QVL and that max memory is 16GB. The motherboard is GA-EP45T-UD3LR with 4 memory slots. Works with 2 but not 4...?Rule of thumb is to never mix ram. Even though you purchased 2 identical sticks of the same ram you had. You should purchase 4 sticks at the same time. All 4 should be from the batch. Yeah it sounds stupid. |
