I have an 8 GB ram stick and a 4 GB ram stick with two slots on my motherboard for ram. Does it matter which stick goes in which spot? Because right now I have the 4 gb stick on the left and the 8 gb stick on the right and my pc sometimes freezes, and freezing results from ram a majority of the time. Thanks
 
Solution
Not unless your motherboard manual recommends otherwise. When using a single stick, some boards require the slot closest to the CPU to be populated first. But with both slots populated, it normally doesn't matter. That's why I suggested to check the manual.
