Did you check what RAM is supported? Also what version of windows are you running? 32 or 64 bit?

Thanks a lot for replying.
My windows run on 64-bit windows 10.
And my pc supports 1333mhz but I knew the pc will automatically downclock the new 1600mhz ram for me

But does the board support 8GB sticks?

Did you take the old RAM out?

Google MemTest, it can test the new RAM without needing to load Windows.

After changing memory, I'd strongly recommend running memtest86 for 10+ hours to see if the memory might have issues. Any errors there would indicate a problem either with the memory chips themselves (errors that appear to affect specific bits at specific addresses) or the memory bus (errors follow a given address line or affect the same data bit(s) regardless of address.)

OK tnx a lot I will do it tonight. If I have any problems I will notify you.

Pls can I think of downclocking my ram or overclocking my cpu

You can't overclock locked Intel CPUs and I don't remember there being an unlocked i3 that uses DDR3. Downclocking the RAM is an option if you run into what you suspect to be RAM-related stability issues.

OH OK I will try downclocking my ram.
