Before you ask. Yes ive looked all around the interwebs to find help. Yes I've tried dual channel and non dual channel mode.
I have the following specs with a CPU upgrade coming in the mail
MOBO: Foxconn A78AX 3.0
Ram: PNY 1600MHz (2x8GB) [Currently Running 1] {dual channel}
PSU: Corsair (i think) 600w
CPU: AMD Athlon II x4 630 (oc'ed to 3.4) [NO L3 Cache] {my new cpu will have L3}
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 390 (4GB VRAM)
it would instantly BSOD around the boot logo. I was assuming since the cpu doesnt have L3 Cache i would assume its not working because of that.
Any help would be great regardless if i can or cant use this other 8GB chip. I will put it in my new rig im building in my spare time.
EDIT: Windows 8.1 Pro
