Hello I already had installed on my pc 2x4gigs of ram, and I brought 2x4 gigs more even tho my old ram is kingston and the new one is kleev they have the same specs 1600 mhz ddr3. When I was installing the new ram 1 at a time it went good I had 12 gigs of ram, But when i went to install the other one . After I installed it and when I start the pc it just beeps for 4-5 secs and then shutsdown. I have tried swapping the ram and the slots but , I can't add more than 12 gigs. My motherboard supports 32 gigs max ram. Help please. also the same thing happend when I was swapping the slots one time it happend with only 1 memory stick installed is something wrong with my bios ? It is from gigabyte dual bios. Sorry for bad English


 
Solution
Model (3) numbers of the DRAM. Not likely your PSU, probably the different sticks of DRAM simply don't want to play nice - happens all the time, never a good idea to mix DRAM. Try raising the DRAM voltage + 0.05
