    Odd Ram problem

    Hi there. This is a strange one. I have 2 sticks of g.skill ram which have been working fine for 2 years, today I just received another 2 sticks of identical ram but for some reason the 2 new sticks won't work. I've tried all the sticks individually and it's definitely the new ram that isn't...
