Hello guys :(

I was playing gta v when i noticed that Windows is giving me warning that im running out of ram and then my pc starts crashing

So i decided to see what's causing the crash i ran msi after burner to monitor the ram usage and as soon as i hit the 4gb ram usage(i have 8gb ram) my pc would crash

I have in total 8gb ram from 4x4 ram sticks there brand is crosair vengeance ddr3 1600

So i decided to test the rams to see if they are working i removed 1 of the rams and saw that its working fine and replaced it with the second ram sticks on 1 motherboard slot both worked fine

But when i installed them back on im using x2 of the ram blue slots my pc wont start now

First it kept turning on and off in a loop and now when i turn it on red motherboard ram light is on then it shuts off

When i remove the ram near the cpu side the pc works fine on the 4gb ram :(

I have the black ram slots which i haven't tested but they are covered by my evo212 fan which makes ram installation impossible

My other specs are

Motherboard: asus p67p8 le
And cpu i5 2500k

Please any help would be appreciated im really hopeless :(

Thanks for the reply apple

I think the rams are fine

I just removed my evo cpu fan and placed it to the left side of the cpu so that i have space to try the black ram slots

Both rams worked fine red led blinks once dont know if that's normal and bios showing 8gb ram i will go inside windows and test it

Also i guess my blue ram slot is dead is there any way i can be sure that its dead?
