Facing issues when using 1600 Mhz RAM in 1333 Mhz supported motherboard.

Yasaal · Aug 13, 2016

I`ve bought a new ram stick: ADATA 1600 mhz.

On the first day,I have faced no issues but when I tried to turn on the pc,lcd never turned on.Then I cleaned all components and yet no luck.At last I removed the new ram, then the pc runs fine...

before buying the ram,i`ve read many threads saying that there will be no issues but here the result is opposite....

Please tell me whether the RAM stick becomes faulty or it is not compatible with motherboard?
(My motherboard have support for 1066 and 1333 Mhz RAM....)

Did you add the new stick to other memory already in the system? Mixing kits is never a great idea

There are 4 slots(dual channel) .I added it to the 3rd slot.

Take out the old ram. Will likely solve the issue. Can also go into bios and ensure its all running at whatever the speed of the slowest stick is

The new ram is causing the problem,the old ones are running the pc.....NOW ?

Moreover I can`t change memory speeds ....plz reply fast!

Your know that your motherboard supports dual-channel, yet you bought only one stick? Why? Your motherboard (which you haven't even told us the name of) is not going to necessarily have a fail-safe for every screwed-up configuration you throw at it.

I just don't get it when people purposely do things the wrong way and expect others to leap to their aid.

Try the new one by itself, if it works then the problem is you mixing it with the old DRAM - it's never a good idea to mix DRAM from different packages

will getting another 4gb stick of the same manufacturer and placing both rams along with old rams resolve the issue?Plz reply fast.
