Some Ram problems

[LAXBRO747]

Recently, i was having troubles with RAM such as 90% usage while just sitting at desktop, so my friend gave me his old ddr3 hyperx red 2x4s. Naturally i installed them and have been crashing like crazy between 5 secs and 15 mins into launch.

My important specs

I3 4160
Asrock b85m micro
Hyperx red 2x4
430 watt EVGA psu

Hello... Any time you move or change RAM sticks, you need to have the BIO's re-read them and re-set the CMOS data for communications.

Let's try a proper "battery removal" AND CMOS reset Clear to the MB ...ok? B /
Take your time here and be slow and careful to your MB... look in your MB manual/Pdf for pictures and location of the SW/pins. B )
1) un-plug PS from wall.
2) remove MB battery
3) place jumper pins/switch on MB to clear the capacitors... for ~3 mins
4) remove Jumper/switch
5) re-install battery
6) plug monitor into the MB video output OR Video card for a BOOT display, And set your monitor for that cable input.
7) plug in PS to wall
8) Boot computer.

I talked this over with a friend and he said this is very much a last resort, we are gonna run memtest later, do you have any other suggestions regarding this?

Hello... It is MY "Second" operation I do, when re-commissioning a MB into service... "First" is replacing the MB battery with a NEW one... this operation only requires 5 mins of your time.
