ok so I put out 1 Ram stick and then it said 8gb of ram so that ram stick is fine but when I did it with the other ram stick my monitor was black screen when I started it up so I think theres a defect in that ram stick.

I use the DIMM 1 and DIMM 3 slots on my motherboard.

I didn't overclocked it on CPU but I don't know the model I only know its an G.Skill X maybe X is the model idk
