So, i bought some ram to put into my computer, my pc has now 4gb, i tried installing the other 4gb i bought but the computer wont start, or in some occasions will start but after 2 min have a blue screen.

I afterwards learned that my motherboard can't support more than 4gb, is there a way to bypass that?

I found a forum post, in this forum, there is a person with the exact same motherboard like me, and he has installed 8gb of ram, and is running everything perfect, and he also says, his windows read 8gb of ram, and that he can use it aswell.

Even my pc could open for a while, read 8gb of ram, but mine would get a blue screen after a while.
