Hi,
Looking for some advice please…
I bought new ram 2 x 8GB DDR4 kit 3200MHz (CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16) to replace my 2 x4GB DDR4 3000MHz (CMK8GX4M2C3000C16).
The PC will start up as normal however after a few minutes on the desktop it freezes and won’t respond. I have managed to open the task manager before it freezes and says that there is two sticks of ram there but only 7.5 GB ram is available.
I have managed to check the bios and it does say there is 16GB Ram installed and the XMP is set to profile 1.
The new ram is on my motherboards ram support list and I believe my motherboard supports this ram.
I have tried swapping the new sticks around but only between the two slots I took out the original 2 x 4GB kit out. Maybe I should try using the other two slots? I’m not sure. I have not tampered with the ram settings as I have near to none knowledge of this.
Just to add when putting my original 2 x 4GB kit back in the Pc operates as normal. That makes me think there is something wrong with the new ram.
Would be grateful for some advice. Thanks
