MB: MSI 760gm-p34fx Desk top PC
windows 7 64 bit
had: G.Skill F3-12800CL9S-4GBAL DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 4096MBX1 CL9-9-9-24 1.5V
add: G.Skill F3-12800CL9S-4GBAL DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 4096MBX1 CL9-9-9-24 1.5V
went from 4gm to 8gm memory. I made sure I discharged all static before upgrade. I get one beep on start up before windows loads up as the screen is blank and has the cursor in upper left corner blinking. Not a long beep but a short one. Is that dram refresh failure and if so what do I do about that. Not sure what that means. The PC was bought several years ago from an guy selling it. He made it himself. I know nothing about memory volts or settings. But I thought all you needed to do was add the memory into the slot. The MB has 2 slots, one was already used and I added exact same memory to make sure all was good to 2nd slot. The PC now takes a few more mins to start up then when I try to run Google it takes awhile to start up and if I request something it says waiting for cache then processing request several times. Skyrim on steam locks up and trying to shut down pc looks likes it locks up for several mins before it processes the command.
If anyone can offer some advice I sure would appreciate it but please keep suggestions simple not assuming I know how to process the advice without step by step instructions.
