cant't finde new Ram

Dameso · Nov 15, 2013

Okay so i have the ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4A785TD-V EVO, and i am having troubles finding
new ram that will work for it, does anyone have an up to date list of ram's that i can use, I mainly want an 2x4 8GB kit. Are you able to help?

I'll suggest using the memory finder tool that most ram brands have - if looking to Corsair ram, this link http://www.corsair.com/learn_n_explore/ Kingston, Crucial, Patriot, GSkill, all have similar tools. The problem (as you've noticed) with using the motherboard's QVL is that it is never (to my knowledge) updated so it becomes outdated rather fast.

Hmm you know the long number, like this one (CMV4GX3M2A1333C9) on ram dose it matter?

C12Friedman · Nov 15, 2013

That number on the module corresponds to this http://www.corsair.com/cmv4gx3m2a1333c9.html so yes, it does help

C12Friedman · Nov 15, 2013

post away...

So tell me, will they work with my motherboard ? http://translate.google.dk/translate?sl=da&tl=en&prev=_t&hl=da&ie=UTF-8&u=http://www.computersalg.dk/produkt/369451%3Fvarenummer%3D369451%26utm_source%3DPriceRunner%26utm_medium%3DPriceRunnerLINK%26utm_campaign%3DPriceRunner

According to Kingston's memory finder tool, that ram is compatible with your motherboard http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/modelsinfo.asp?SysID=57546&mfr=ASUS%2FASmobile&model=M4+Motherboard+M4A785TD&search_type=&root=uk&LinkBack=&Sys=57546-ASUS%2FASmobile-M4+Motherboard+M4A785TD-V+EVO&distributor=0&submit1=Search

so i should not experience any trouble, using those?

C12Friedman · Nov 15, 2013

Nope, in fact if you do have any issues, you can contact Kingston who will help you get them running right or replace them (they have a lifetime warranty)

yeah about that, i already bought ram 2 times, and send them back because I was unable to start up my computer with them, honestly i don't want to send ram a 3 time

C12Friedman · Nov 15, 2013

If you are unable to start your computer with this third set of ram, ram is probably not the problem. If that is the case (and the previous types of ram should've worked), I'd suspect the motherboard is shot or another component (possibly the PSU even)

Dameso · Nov 15, 2013

Hmm then how come that the ram I have in now work fine?..

C12Friedman · Nov 15, 2013

What is your current ram configuration - how many modules in which slots? Are you trying to add the ram to the existing ram or simply add a new kit. There may be problems if trying to add ram to existing ram.

Dameso · Nov 16, 2013

okay so i have 4x1 4GB, so i am using all 4 slots, and i made sure to take all the old ram out, before I put in the new one. And I don't know if the new ram will work or not, I am simply trying to avoid any sort trouble when i buy them the 3 time.

C12Friedman · Nov 16, 2013

This is simply to confirm since I do not know for sure...
When trying the new kits you are using the blue ram slot closest to the CPU (DIMM_A1) for one module and also the closest black slot to the CPU (DIMM_A2) for the second module.

Dameso · Nov 16, 2013

Just to be clear, the new ram i posted, the kingston one I don't have them yet, and yes that was what i did with them.

C12Friedman · Nov 16, 2013

Now I am thoroughly stumped... just as an experiment, have you tried running two of your current sticks (known working) in those slots without the other two modules inserted - have you run memtest86 on your current ram? I'm going to suggest trying both ideas - it may be that you'll need to run two sticks in channel B or, (I wouldn't know why) need to have all slots populated.

Dameso · Nov 16, 2013

hmm okay so the only option that i have not tried, is the mem test...and i don't really know how to do that

C12Friedman · Nov 16, 2013

Memtest86 is found here http://www.memtest86.com/ (free). Simply extract MemTest onto a disk or USB flash drive (make sure the drive is before your OS drive in the boot order). Put the disk/stick in and reboot
