I want to upgrade my 2GB RAM, so I brought 2x4GB Kingston Memory Modules
after installing them I got black screen, but everything works fine inside case
I have cleaned pins with eraser but no effect, when I return old 2GB ram it works fine
also I updated my CPU it works fine...you can see Motherboard Memory Support Specifications here - https://ibb.co/jZSkmYM

Motherboard: Asus P5G41T-M-LX2/GB
Old RAM: Rendition RM25664BA1339.8FR (2GB DDR3 PC3-10600U 1333MHz DIMM 240-Pin)
New RAMs: 2x4GB Kingston KVR13N9S8H/4 (1x4GB DDR3 PC3-10600 133MHz CL9 240-Pin DIMM)

I'm afraid that this is a sign of a faulty RAM

Assuming you bought those Memory Modules brand new not second hand ones

  • Try plugging only one stick of them to see which one is causing the problem.
  • Make sure you plugged them in the right order (slot #1 and slot #2)

If that didn't help then if you bought them new i'm sure you could have an exchange.

I will bring it back but I need to know what type of memories I need...becouse that new ones are fully compatible for mobo

Crucial shows CT2K51264BD160B 2X4=8GB kit https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/p5g41t-m-lx/CT7337363 you can find that part number other places like Amazon. Kingston only shows KVR1066D3N7K2/8G 2X4GB kit compatible with your board and it is discontinued. May be able to find it used on Ebay or Amazon. Your KVR13N9S8H/4 is NOT COMPATABLE with your board. It requires 2Rank memory , double sided chips on the modules. They don't hardly make them any more!
