I have 3 sticks of ram, all of which are working
I have this weird problem with me that i cannot use more than one stick of ram at a time.
i had thismother board earlier it gave me problems like frequent restarting and the ability to not use more than 1 ram at a time.
So i bought a new mother board
and it gives me the same problem(except the restarting)
What do i do now
Please help
 


What RAM do you have? Please list make, model, and any specs that you have for it.

and the third ram is unidentified
 



It is a BAD idea to mix DIMMs from different manufacturers, especially when one is unidentified. When you buy multiple DIMMs, they should be in a "Matched Set" (single package). Even if you try to order another Corsair DIMM with the same model as above, it may or may not work with your existing DIMM.

I would sell what you have and buy a matched set from Corsair, Crucial or Mushkin. Try to stick to 2 DIMM sets as Dual Channel Mode works better that way.
