So, recently I thought of upgrading my old dying PC, it is quite old with a core 2 duo, 2 GB of DDR3 RAM (unbranded company), and a GIGABYTE GA - G41MT - S2 motherboard.
So i was searching for a good ram deal around my locality for USED RAM, I finally found one good deal with Two DDR 3 4 GB each RAM for around $38 (trust me, where i live this deal was the best), so it came in 3 days, I checked the RAMs and found out that one was from Kingston and the other from Transcend. both were 1333 MHZ. So was to eager to put them in my rig, well did that both of them in the ram slots perfectly seated and pressed the power button. the CPU cooler fan started spinning up everything seems normal but there was no video out put. so i tried inserting my old original 2 GB ram which was initially in my pc back in it and The PC booted as normal, again i tried all possible combinations including one original and the other from the new ones, but no luck.
Finally, i thought of getting a buzzer thingy you get and inserted it into check if there were any errors. So with one new bought ram only in my rig the buzzer beeped continuously, beep, beep. and with the another new ram there was no beeping at all.
all this is so confusing for me, also from physical standpoint the RAM sticks don't appear to be damaged, just some slight scratching on the pins which is obvious.
Thanks in advance...
