problems with motherboard\memory

[clarikaxe]

I have a gigabyte GA-H97-D3H with 2 G. Skill sniper 1600Mhz and i've recently purchesed another set of exactly the same memory sticks, after i've installed them on the motherboard I started and the computer started beeping until it shut down and started all over again.
I know its because of the additional memory sticks I added but it shouldn't do any problems is there any way to fix this ? or its a bad memory stick ?

Sometimes memory just doesn't play well together if they aren't purchased as a matched set, even if they are "exactly the same". That being said, try the new memory by itself and see if it works. If so, then make sure the new pair and the old pair are in the proper "pair slots" on your mother board, usually this is slots 2 and 4 paired and slots 1 and 3 paired, consult your motherboard manual to be sure.

ah, now's experimenting time!

Time to experiment, a good way is to test every stick seperately. This will pretty much determine which one is the bad stick. Boot the computer with only one stick in 4 times, and that should pinpoint if you have a bad stick of RAM.

Check each DIMM individually: If all of them work proceed to installing them one by one without turning off the PSU just using the power button to check if the BIOS posts and then to turn off the computer in order to install another DIMM.

I check each DIMM separately and it appears the newer one I purched seem to be faulty

congratulations, you've deduced the problem. Grab a ice cold beer (or if you're underage some apple juice) and hit up the RMA system on whatever shopping site you bought it from, or drive to the store and return it, beer or apple juice in hand (don't drink and drive though!!! wow I got carried away with this )

hello again
I recived a fixed set of DIMM's from the store and after I installed them everything went well for a few minutes then my computer just did a really long "beep" sound and I had to manually shut it down after that I restarted the computer and it just crashes everytime I had to remove the newer DIMM's to make it stop ..what should I do ? is it the same problem as before or is it something to do with the volt and the BIOS I have no clue
Help will be really appriciated thanks in advance
