Hey! I have had problems over the past few weeks with a RAM kit over the past few weeks and I have managed to narrow it down to one stick being the cause of all of the problems. The problem is, I am not able to RMA the RAM and I have a limited budget!

I was wondering where I would be able to purchase a single stick of RAM (either the same exact kind or something which would be compatible)?

The RAM is the Corsair Vengeance LP 1866MHz DDR3 RAM (coloured red). I only need one more 4GB stick hehe.

Thank you for taking the time to read, and have a lovely day!

1| The smartest thing to do is to perform an RMA with the seller. Where are you located?

2| Have you made sure it's the stick of ram and not your slot? Have a go with memtes86 for at least 10 passes per stick of ram per slot.

3| It's very bad practice to mix and match rams thus the suggestion to rid your entire kit and RMA to get a new one from seller/Corsair. If you can see if they will take back the kit so that you can add some more money and purchase another kit of similar capacity.

4| Have you also made sure your BIOS is up to date? It'd be a good idea for you to pass on your full system's specs inclusive of your OS.
