[SOLVED] Not able to install Windows 10 with GSkill DDR3 RAM ?

[Titanion]

I have two sticks of ram that I was not able to install Windows 10 when using them.

F3-1600C11S-4GNS

I used a different 4GB stick and it installed fine. The ram I am asking about does not have any chips on one side. Are there any known issues? I would like to use them and get 8 GB dual channel.

What motherboard and CPU ?
i suspect a density limitation for the RAM on your mobo..
Eventually try a clear CMOS After installing the new RAM before booting

ASUS P8H61-M LE/SM with an i5-3570

’should’ be supported by your mobo, according to the specs. And what can be found on the QVL. Supports both single and double side ram.
On the QVL there is F3-1600C11S-4GNT which differs only by the T at the end ( your’s has an S). Could not find the what the differnce is.
Have you tried one stick at a time ?

I think that was my first step when I got an error installing Windows 10.

I have not put them back yet.

Is the board ASUS P8H61-M LE/SM or ASUS P8H61-M LE CSM?

I don't seem to be able to find ASUS P8H61-M LE/SM.

I don't have time to look inside right now. Have to run out.

But CPU-Z says ASUS P8H61-M LE/CSM

I bought it for $10 and posted the model number from the messenger text. Sorry about that.

Memtest86 showed one of the sticks to be bad. I paired the good one with the 4GB stick I was using, and it seems to work ok, even though the GSkill is faster and only has chips on one side.

I put the slower stick closer to the CPU; it is a Nanya 10700 667. If they work OK together, this will be ok.
