Question My new ram doesn't work properly

[awesomeleo]

So I bought a new 8gb ddr3 (1333mhz) ram about 2 months ago... I have an i5 2320 processor and a intel DH61WW motherboard.. I already have a 4gb ram (1333mhz) so I tried using 8+4 GB and everytime the pc shuts down .. it starts with a beep.. and sometimes it would start . But later display errors such as non pages or memory management or kernwl issue and would restart.. I was able to game for few days.. after which it kept crashing automatically and blue screening.. the same happens when I use the 8gb stick alone in either of the slots..it either doesn't boot up or on booting up it keeps crashing.. but it doesn't happen like that when I use the 4 GB stick alone... But on checking in Google.. my board and CPU supports the ram.. can someone pls help me.. I am a small YouTuber and gamer and this is my only pc..

I think it's fixed...thanks so much for Ur help bro
Shld I just leave it in 1067 MHz and 1.6 v?
Btw I am running 8+4 GB it's fine right?

You could try 1333mhz with 1.6V too.

Cool but I am scared if it would crash ... Btw it is not running 8+4 right? Like both at 1067 MHz?

It is not wrong running*

It is running same frequency on all ram modules.

Bro so I had shut my pc down...now when I switched it back on... It started with a bluescreen and is restarting

 

[awesomeleo]

I again used my pc now... As I said while starting it from shut down..it loads... And bluescreens and works prprly... After that I was able to game... While shutting down again..it bluescreens and restarts ..how do I fix this?

So you changed ram frequency to 1333mhz 1.6V, before BSODs started appearing again?
Then I guess, you have to set it back to 1066mhz 1.6V.

You can also try increasing dram voltage to 1.65V.

No I didn't change it to 1333 MHz.. it's still in 1067 and 1.6 v and bsods occur only while shutting down or starting pc after shutting down.. then they restrat... And they run fine. Shld I try changing it to 1333 MHz and 1.65 v?

Set to 1067mhz 1.65V and test it.
Then try 1333mhz and 1.65V.

Tried 1333mhz at 1.65 v ...pc crashes.. now checking 1067 MHz at 1.65 v

 

[awesomeleo]

The pc seems stable in 1067 MHz and 1.65 v but all my games r laggy af.. including csgo.. can I know y?

 

[awesomeleo]

Can I try changing to 1333mhz and increase volt to 1.7?

 

[SkyNetRising]

No. Don't go over 1.65V on DDR3 ram. You can damage it and your cpu.

Well wat do I do... My game sometimes lags and suddenly works fine and again all of a sudden lags very badly... How do I fix this?

It happens, when you use 8GB + 4GB ram modules. Right?
Does that happen also, if you use only 8GB module? or only 4GB module?

Yea I am using 8+4 GB.. when I try 4 GB alone... It doesn't lag much.. fortnite lags due to bottlenecking of ram ( when j use 4gb) haven't tried 8 GB alone yet

 

[awesomeleo]

Also when I use 4+8 GB at 1333 MHz and 1.65 v it keeps crashing .. is it becoz of using 4 + 8 GB together?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Try using 8GB alone. Try in both ram slots.
Could be issue with this ram module or with ram slot.

 

[awesomeleo]

The 8gb crashed in both the slots.. but the 4 GB works

Last thing you can do is to increase latency timings.
Set to 1066mhz, 1.65V, 10-9-9-24.

If nothing works, then either it is faulty or has some compatibility issue with your motherboard
