Installing RAm results in BSOD

[Noah Engdahl]

Hey guys i've recently bought new ram sticks . Corsair vengance 1600c9r pc3 12800 and tried to add them to my currently samsung PC3-10700 (667MHz) After a few attempts i noticed that my Bios actually noticed the ram ( change from 4 to 12gbs ). How do i configure or manually add the new ones ?. Is it worth to mix them ?

Try the new sticks on there own, if they work ok on there own there is a comparability problem. This can happen even when using same make and model and is why it is recommended to buy all your RAM as a single kit. Mixing 2 different makes and models is even more likely to cause problems

Ive tried all the combonations. None of them including the new rams results in BSOD. i guess there's an compability problem but still shouldent it work. The pc is 3 years old so i guess the motherboard is a bit old :/

No, whenever RAM is bought separately there is no guarantee it will work together. Even the same make and model RAM bought separately can have problems, its uncommon but can happen. Buying different brands is the most likely to cause problems

So your suggestion is that i try with the new rams sticks sepeperately ( which i have done ). I guess i could give it another attempt. Although im pretty sure it dosent work.

No my suggestion is if both sets work individually then there is a compatibly problem when used together. If me id return the new RAM, sell the old and but a RAM kit for the amount you want. Only way they are guaranteed to work together. I know it's probably more expensive but that's the best option in my mind
