I currently have 8gb in my Acer XC-605 desktop, configured as follows:
I want to add 8gb to give me 12gb in total. I purcahsed some Crucial branded memory with the same spec, I tried the 8gb in both slots with the exisitng 2 4gb dimms plus another 4gb and in some combinations it would POST, other times it begun to boot then reset.
So I ordered another brand of 8gb with the aame spec and I have the same problem. The only combination that will POST and boot are the 2 new 8gb dimm together.
Does this suggest that I can not mix the capacity of the dimms?
2 x 4gb DDR3 1600 memory in my desktop. I want to swap one of the 4gb module for an 8gb. I purchase some new memory of the same type (including voltage of 1.35v but the machine will not boot with the new memory combined with either of the 4gb slots. I then purchased a 2nd 8gb and this also will not work in any combination - however the 2 x 8gb work together.
Does the the memory capacity have to match in each slot?
Thanks in advance.
- 4gb 12800 DDR3 1.35v
