RAM Error. Incompatible?

sweeney3744 · Apr 24, 2014

I have a DDR3 motherboard and I ordered some WINTEC DDR3 1333MHz REG ECC RAM. I'm getting the old 3 beebs, stop, 3 beebs, stop, and so on. Is this RAM incompatible, or is the motherboard or RAM defective?

What mobo, if it's a regular PC type mobo it probably doesn't support ECC registered DRAM, ECC is normally used more in server mobos than PC type mobos

It's a regular PC mobo. Do you have any RAM suggestions that are under $30 a piece?

Well you mentioned 1333, if looking for 2x4GB about $65 is the lowest the Egg has

They have a pretty good selection of 2x2GB under $60

Not really what you have as far as mobo/CPU or how much you are looking for

I'm looking for 8GB total but my motherboard only has 2 slots.

Tradesman1 :

Also, if you needed to know, this is the motherboard I have:

Intel DH61HO LGA-1155 H61 Express Chipset Desktop

EDIT: This is a build PC. There is no software installed currently (going to be a hackintosh). The maximum RAM for 32-bit is 3.5 GB. Do I need to get a 2GB stick, install the software, than install more?

Then the 2x4GB i mentioned is the lowest price that Newegg shows, might check with Tigerdirect or Frys, or maybe even look at 2x4GB 1066 sets
