Hi all, so I just ordered a generic 2gb ram stick (1333mhz) from an exchange store know as Cex.com. I already have about 4gb of ccl choice ram, which is also 1333mhz of ddr3. As soon as I turn the pc, I get big loud beeeeeeeeeeeeep coming from the pc. Any help or should I just get a return.

Does the new stick work on it's own? If it does, test it in different RAM slots. If the stick and all of the slots work, the new and the old stick are incompatible with each other, and that's why they won't work together.

If have tested all different slots on its own and the problem still persists, I think this is just poor quality control and the consequence of buying second hand ram :s

Yeah, it's probably just a faulty stick :(
