Specs:
Current RAM: Team Xtreem Dark 2x2GB DDR3 TXD32048M1600HC9-D
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 445 Processor
MB: ASRock M3A770DE AM3
OS: 32-bit Windows 10
New RAM: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002V2R8VY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
I just got this RAM today, put it in, and I'm getting either it not connecting to the monitor when I start it, or just a blinking bar followed by a black screen. When I put in my old RAM it boots fine. My MB has four RAM slots, old RAM works on both sides, new RAM doesn't work on either side. Did I buy the wrong RAM? I was careful to get DDR3 PC3-12800 240-Pin with Timings 9-9-9-24. I thought that was all I needed to look for, but perhaps not. I also noticed once I got it that my old RAM was 1.65v and the new RAM is 1.5v. Should I return this RAM? And what RAM should I get?
Note: I know I won't be able to use my 4GB old and 4GB new on my 32-bit OS, but I just intended to confirm these RAM chips work and then update to 64-bit.
