[SOLVED] Dual channel ram blue screen

[AnderGiorno]

I bought a laptop that is msi gl63 8Sd. It has 8 gb ram (1x8) .
And then i bought another 8gb ram that is the same ddr4-2667 but with different timing.
I used it and it work normally. After long time it goes blue screen.
the blue screen keeps on repeating unless i used one ram only.
Can anyone Help ?

Did you look for ram with same timings as that is likely reason you getting BSOD now. It is all it can take to cause them.

Crucial don't appear to have tested their ram with that model.

idk what do you mean. Do you mean i must buy a new ram with the same timing or buy another ram from the same store so i got two same ram and use it?

if it was a PC I would suggest buying a set of 16gb of ram and replace both sticks with it

if you can get ram with same timings, I would buy one stick as laptops generally let you use mismatching ram provided timings are the same.

the safest option is a matching set, as they tested to work with each other. Less gambles.

is there a way to fix it without buying ram sticks?

To fix, remove the second dimm and run with 8gb.
Possibly, the new dimm is defective.
To test,
Run memtest86 or memtest86+
They boot from a usb stick and do not use windows.
You can download them here:

MemTest86 - Official Site of the x86 Memory Testing Tool

MemTest86 is the original self booting memory testing software for x86 and ARM computers. Supporting both BIOS and UEFI, with options to boot from USB.

www.memtest86.com

Memtest86+ | The Open-Source Memory Testing Tool

Memtest86+ is an advanced, free, open-source, stand-alone memory tester for 32- and 64-bit computers (UEFI & BIOS supported)

www.memtest.org

If you can run a full pass with NO errors, your ram should be ok.
If the new stick is defective, return it; ram should have a lifetime warranty.

Check with the ram vendor(crucial,kingston, corsair,g.skil...)
Access their ram selection app and enter the make/model of your laptop.
You will get a list of supported ram upgrades.

Mismatched ram can always be a problem.
To be absolutely certain of trouble free operation, consider abandoning both sticks and replace with a supported 2 x 8gb kit.
