i just got 8gb ddr2 pc6400 800mhz geil black dragon memory for my pc .
it was working fine and i could play all the games. i checked the ram on cpu-z and it showed 400mhz. i got confused cuz it should be 800mhz. i downloaded memtestx86 4.1 and booted my computer . the memtest finishd without giving any errors. but when i restarted the system it went upto windows screen and the display went off . the computer was still running so i thot might be a graphics problem. so i switched it off and back onn , the computer comes onn ,all the fans n cpu ect are working but no display on screen . so removed all the compnents of the pc includin the cmos battery and put everything back togethr. when i booted it up this time it only went upto the bios screen and the monitor comes up with no signal. i switchd it off and back onn again, pcs onn but no display again . hence everytime i removed the memory sticks and put it back in, it onli boots up till the bios screen otherwise if i leave the memory as it is , theres no display at all when the pcs switchd onn . i took all the ram owt and put a single 1gb ddr2 stick in which i had from my old pc and amazingly the computer went all fine . no errors at all. so im guessing my memory is done just cuz i used memtest???
