| Big caveat: hardware is not my strong suit. Just gonna say this in case it helps you diagnose an issue or double-check compatibility or whatever.
And admittedly, my situation was a tad different. I slotted in two RAM sticks that were twice the size of my old ones, enjoyed a faster machine, and decided to go whole hog. Added another one, same speed, all good. Then I threw in a fourth one at half the speed of the other three, ran a game that was graphically taxing with a pile of mods and a lot of allocated RAM to carry the load for the VRAM, and everything ran fine for a month. Then one fine day my system wouldn't boot. This was all relatively modern hardware so I did the usual self-directed maintenance routine with only an hour of panic when nothing made sense. It finally traced to both the third and fourth ram slot. I can run everything fine on that motherboard with them empty. The ram that was in those slots runs fine in the other two slots and on another machine. I'm uncertain I understand why that happened given the fact that the configuration worked initially. I imagine this is not a problem, but there are a lot of posts here about preventing other people from going through bullshit by telling them about your own sunk costs so there you go. |
