Hey awesome dudes! I am back, again.... You probaly haven't seen my other posts ;D. Anyhow...

I bought a new computer, and I ended up with the HyperX Fury 2666mhz 16gb (4x4gb) RAM, unfortunately my computer kept freeze crashing (was still, coldnt do anything) until I hit the restart button. I have already called tech support in my tewchbuyer company, turns out that after a RAM check I did with MemTest a RAM stick or 2 didn't function good. Going to change the whole kit, but have some questions about which to change two, these are the following I can choose from in my techbuyer company's website:

Vengeance LPX 16gb (4x4)
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-lpx-16gb-4x4gb-ddr4-dram-2666mhz-c15-memory-kit-black-cmk16gx4m4a2666c15
(It is also a type that is 16gb (4x 288DIMM, do not know what that means..)

Corsair platinum 16gb (4x4)
http://www.corsair.com/en/dominator-platinum-series-16gb-4-x-4gb-ddr4-dram-2666mhz-c15-memory-kit-cmd16gx4m4a2666c15

Crucial ballistix 16gb (4x4)

Also, whenever I turn on my comouter I have to unplug and plug in my keyboard in another usb slot (still works if I change it later back to the first one) in order for it to work, this does not happen to my laptop. Does this have anything else than the RAM to do with? Here is my build if you need it, thanks!:

Hmm, your other symptoms are interesting. If that system is stable with a single memory stick then I would say that might just be a USB 2.0/3.0 issue, and you could try another port.

If it still does it, then the board itself may be the problem and not the memory.

G.Skill Trident Z are a popular recommendation. They are cheap and overclock fairly well if you care about that.

The real wierd thing as I said is that if I change to another usb port, and then change to the one I was first using. It will work with the first port. I want to have my 5820k so I do not want to change to a Z - board.

The ssd is screwed in the top of a bracket under my hdd.
