Hi all,
I've looked around here to search for similar problems, but the ones found have not helped me that much.
Here's my problem. Built myself a new system a while back. Asrock b75 pro3m mobo. I've originally placed 2x4Gb Geil ram modules in it. It gave me 4 beeps directly (had them in A1 and B1). I've switched them to A2 and B2 to get it started.
This worked fine for a little while, but it felt like my system still wasn't really clicking for some reason. Felt sluggish. So I thought I buy another 2x4Gb this time I picked Corsair, cause it was on sale.
I got it to start, but blue screens followed suit as soon as I did anything that was needed some RAM. So I played around with memtest a little and came to the conclusion it was because of the Geil RAM sticks. Went to customer service and they checked it out. Nothing wrong with them. They kept it to run longer tests.
In the meantime I got another 2x4Gb Corsair RAM from a buddy, just to rule out any mobo problems. For the life of me it wouldn't work in any way possible. Just kept giving my 4 beeps and restarting.
I've pulled out one of the RAMs and finally got it working and stable with 12Gb total.
So I was thinking maybe the one slot is broken. I got a Corsair 1x8Gb stick to put in there. So I could get my 16Gb of total RAM, but return my 2 Geil RAM sticks. So I would have 3 sticks of RAM in there just like it worked with 3 sticks of Corsair earlier, but the damn thing just won't work now. It just refuses the 3 stick system. It will give me 2 sticks or none.
What am I missing here? Why wouldn't it work with 3 and/or 4 sticks? It did work with 3 sticks of 4, so why not 2 sticks of 4 and an 8?
Losing my mind over this and I just can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated
