So 2 days a go I set up my pc and it was working fine. Yesterday, during the middle of a game it crashed saying NFTS error and basically went in a loop and I couldn't repair or anything. Now today, I unplugged a slot of RAM from my 8GBx2 and started it up with just the one RAM stick.. it worked. I thought the RAM could be faulty so I tried turning it on with the other stick of RAM and it worked.
So I tried using both pairs of RAM in the 2 different slots and it doesn't work when using them together!
What is the problem..?

Do I need to install any mobo drivers or anything?


ALL help appreciated,

thanks.

reïnstalling drivers can't hurt. He already tried using just one stick and that works fine.
But i would also advice trying both sticks in slot 3 and 4 and leave slot 1 and 2 open ( maybe slot 2 is broken )
