Hi, just wanna mention, that I am not really computer geek and professional. Anyways, I wanted to upgrade my computer memory. But I am still very unsure about it all, so if any of you can confirm, if it will work, I would be hugely thankful.
So, at the moment I have 2x4 GB RAMs placed into the slot with one gap in between. My motherboard is ASUS M4A77TD (very old, I know). It has 4 slots. I found 2x2 GB RAMs laying on my desk, I've cleaned them, but when I did put them both into the slots with other 2x4 GB RAMs, PC did start, but haven't boot. So I tried to remove them one by one with a combination of 3 RAMs 2x4 GB RAMs + 1x2 GB RAM and the pc did boot. I also tried to switch them to find out if the slots aren't damaged.
But to the point, my budget for better RAMs is around 70 euros (not a currency I would pay usually), and my interest is in Patriot Viper 3 Black Mamba 2x8 GB RAMs - DDR3. If it would be working also with the other 2x4 GB RAMs, I would have 24 GB memory in total, but I don't think my old supply would handle it or motherboard itself. So my question is, if it would work with the new RAMs I am willing to buy (with or without other RAMs) and also, why my pc haven't booted with 12 GB memory.
I am hugely thankful for any answers. So long, bye!
