Hi there,
I recently purchased a new RAM (Kingston DDR3 4 GB 1600 Mhz (KVR16N11S8/4)). I already have Kingston DDR3 2 GB 1333 Mhz (KVR1333DRN9/2G) installed.
Unfortunately when I installed my new RAM, I only got a black screen. After checking if I correctly inserted the RAM the right way (heard the clicking sound), there was still no change. After reading on different forums, I realized that my old RAM was put in the 2nd slot and I put my new RAM in de first slot. So I decided to put my new RAM in de 4th slot. The black screen was now gone, but de rebooting process didn't get passed the manufacture's screen (it gave the option to press DEL or F8 for options, but my keyboard didn't respond). I decided tot change the order of the ram (so new RAM in slot 2 en old RAM in slot 4; I also did the same for slots 1 & 3) but to no avail.
With one of these combinations (can't remember which) the pc would reboot constantly after a couple of second (just black screen).
The PC starts fine if the old RAM is only installed (in all 4 slots). So there is nothing wrong with the slots or my motherboard. When I only installed the new RAM, I got a blue screen saying that the new software isn't properly installed and it may cause damage (parafrasing).
So my question is: what's wrong with the new RAM. Is it a simple compatibility problem?
(All the Kingston RAM that is compatible with my motherboard are discontinued bij Kingston (read this from their site)).
Thank you for your time!
