I've just brought DDR3 4x4GB need some advice

Chess of confusion · Dec 28, 2017

OK the people i brought the RAM from is a place called PCbitz well i'm having a problem with the Ram for what I've learned if you have 4 sticks of ram you could put them into any on the 4 Dimms slot...NOW they are saying i need to play around with the Ram until they work with each other that's not Right is it. By the way my MOB can handle 16GB it a Hewlett-Packard model 1495 i checked the specifications at the Official HP.

Should not be needed. Were all 4 sticks supplied in a single kit or 2 separate kits.

they gave me 4x4 =16 and they are saying i need to play around with them until they work together.. it doesn't make scene if all 4 Ram are the same.. which they are.. then why can't i just put them into any Dimms slot unless there's somthing wrong with the Ram or my MOB.

It is important, it was a single 4x4gb kit and not 2 (2x4gb) kits? You can try swapping them around but that shouldn't be necessary, you could also try Memtest on each stick, it is possible its a motherboard issue.

Given that these are used from a parts refurb shop and they are telling you to play with it, I'd bet that they are actually a pair of 2x4gb. Try installing one stick and then installing a second, if it doesn't work then replace the second stick. Repeat till the system boots. Then try installing the other two sticks. The second set may not work or may work at a lower timings. This is the problem with ram, it's so finicky it's almost never advisable to use unmatched ram.

I'd personally return it to the shop. Then find a 2x8gb kit somewhere. 4x kits are usually slower than 2x kits, more points of non-conformance or failure.

The other problem is that i can put 2 of the 4gb form ram into the mob and it boots fine.. but as soon as i try and adding another 4gb i get a beep followed by error 201..but sticking with me having 2 of the 4gb no matter which dimm slot i have them in at random moments the PC crashes..there is another problem i don't no if this was because of the Ram or it Being Windows 10...but i had to reinstall OS i've got WINs7 pro and the problem was fixed. But as soon as i upgraded back to WINs 10 the problem came back. And the problem being
