Hi! I recently bought a new stick of 8gb DDR3 Ram. I wanted to upgrade from 8gb to 16gb but my old stick of ram had different timings and therefore was not compatible with the recently bought stick.(as far as i understood from researching the web). So I went ahead and bought another stick of ram, the exact same one as the previous new one ( so now i have 2 exact same ram sticks) and the pc does not boot with both of them. If only 1 is socketed, the pc boots normaly. If I put in the second one, i'm not even seeing the motherboard boot screen. I looked the problem up and i found some info about bumping DRAM Voltage in bios, but my bios doesn't allow me to change it higher than the 3 options it has, which are Auto, 1.24, 1.42. Could my problem be with the motherboard's second ram slot being broken? Or what else can I do to fix this?
