To start things off, here's my build:
OS - Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU - Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.20GHz
MOBO - Acer Aspire M5910 running BIOS Ver. AMI P01-A4
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti
HDD - 1397GB Western Digital WDC WD15EADS-22P8B0 (SATA)
Now here's where the problem comes in:
Installed, I have a Kingston kvr1333d3n9/4g (DDR3 4GB 1333MHz)
I couldn't find another stick like this one on sale, however I did find one that is seemingly the same thing:
A Kingston kvr13n9s8/4 (DDR3 4GB 1333MHz as well)
The issue is, no matter what slot I use, the new stick just won't work (just by itself or with the old one in). The computer crashes right after post, as soon as the Windows logo shows up.
I've tried running Memtest, but it crashes as soon as it starts testing, and computer reboots.
I've updated my BIOS to the most recent version I could find. I also tried resetting it (removing CMOS battery), but nada.
Looking at Kingston's page, both RAM sticks are exactly the same, except for the fact on is 1Rx8 and the other is 2Rx8.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
