Compatibility of RAM and Motherboard

Muan9650723084 · Feb 2, 2017

I am using a GA H55-D2H Motherboard with 2GB Kingston RAM and 1st Gen i3 processor.
I just bought a new kvr1333d3n9 /8g RAM. When installing the RAM, i am facing a problem of not starting up and crashing. Is there a compatibility issue?can you pls suggest me what may be the issue.
Also, if anyone can suggest what may be the solution. Either to change the RAM or the Motherboard and which model of each.
Thank you so much

If you mean the GA-H55M-D2H it supports 8 GB max.

So you cant install 1 8 GB stick. You have to install 2x4 GB sticks.

And if youre using 32 bit windows, it doesnt support more than 4 GB ram

Thanks Paul... But the spec of the motherboard say upto 16GB.... That is what is confusing me...

I couldnt find the GA-H55-D2H only the GA-H55M-D2H which says 8 GB

You could buy a socket 1150 mobo, but you would have to change the CPU as well

Can you afford a more recent CPU as well as ram?? 1156 is a bit old now

Not at the moment, Paul... I would be really thankful if you can suggest a motherboard for the same.
Thank you

And i am not a gamer... Using it for bit of photoshop and lightroom.... Not higher than that.... So havent thought of upgrading the 1156...
Just thought of upgrading the RAM only but with this issue, i would just go for a change in motherboard as well if you can please help

Well not too sure if 1156 mobos are still around.

Since, they're pretty much obsolete. Unless you can find one 2nd hand or new on sites like Ebay or something

Something like one of these.

Altho depending on what BIOS is on whatever, it may need a BIOS update before the CPU you have now will work

What country are you in?

You have to check which one you want, and which mobo supports up to 32 DDR 3 ram. So you can use that 8 GB stick

k.

You could have a look through that Ebay site. Is there an Ebay in India?? Probably the only place you could still buy one new
