Hey guys, bought this alienware steam machine, installed windows on it, and it was running great with the stock single 4gb stick of RAM. I decided I wanted to max it out so pulled the original stick and replaced it with 2x 8gb sticks of PNY RAM. Same type and speed PC3-12800 DDR3 1600mhz.
Here are screenshots of my benchmarks, but needless to say the computer runs super slow now. I play rocket league a lot and it is constantly hanging and lagging and experience extreme slow downs after i put this RAM in.
UPDATE:
I tested each stick of RAM individually, looks like one is a little faster than the other but are both sticks faulty? Seems unlikely... wonder if theres a BIOS setting i need to fiddle with? I dont know....
