hello good people. im not an experienced builder but I have done 4 or 5.
this one has me really stumped and frustrated.
Specs:
Mobo- asrock z97 pro4 atx lga 1150
CPU- Intel I7 4790K
Ram- Crucial Ballistix 2-8gb ddr3 1600 (bls2cp8g3d169ds00)
at first the computer would not even post. 4 beeps.
so I bench tested it by using only 1 stick of ram and it still 4 beeps
I then switched sticks and bam ! it worked. no beeps, in to bios.
I installed windows 8 and half way through I got an error, so I went through the whole..
boot menu, tried to install windows again and that time it worked.
but now its randomly shutting down.
for some odd reason, I can randomly open up internet explorer, at times that wont even open, giving a "internet explorer has stopped working"
im really at a loss for words. im thinking maybe the other stick of ram is working at 80 percent.
or is this ram maybe a problem for the asrock and Intel ?
I don't know but I would sure appreciate any help I can find.
thank you so much
