I recently attempted to upgrade my ram, i bought a pair of 4gb HyperX Fury DDR3 1333 MHz 1.5v memory.
When i slotted it into my computer it wouldn't turn on, i had checked everything on my old ram i had in my computer which was labeled as GDDR3 1333 MHz 1.5v 2gb. I checked my motherboard (Acer M680g w/ i5 650) for compatibility which stated it can use up to 16gb of SDRAM at 1066 and 1333 mHz.
I tested a bit with having one piece of the old ram and one piece of the new and various other configurations which brought up the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD. I thought the ram was faulty so i brought it back and exchanged it for some basic barebones ram of the same specs which provided the same results.
Also, in addition to my ram problems i got a new power supply seeing that my graphics card (GTX 660) requires 450+ and my old PSU was only 460 i bought a Corsair CX600M and now my computer randomly stops, no error, just shuts down while i'm playing a game.
I would really love some help here as this has been driving me crazy for the past few days, thanks in advance.
