Vincanti

I would backup any important data to an external drive, and do a fresh, clean install of windows 10. @Vincanti

First off this comp. was built by me 2 years ago and has been handed down to GF who has been using it for the past 3 months.
 
So I've been Troubleshooting this all night and thought i had it figured out but apparently i have not.
System at first was turned on by girlfriend and kept restarting. 
So i started piecing it out 
Took out Graphics, Still did
Took out ssd, still did
Took out all but one ram in one slot, Started! 
 
Okay we're getting somewhere, Check over all the ram, Turns out 2/4 sticks are at 1600mhz and 2/4 are at 1866mhz. 
Put two 1866mhz in main slots, Computer starts. Think well okay i obviously didnt check ram when i bought more and mixing frequencies was the problem.
Put everything back besides the other two ram, Start comp Works! then i shut down. GF then Starts it again (because she wasnt going to play games but now she is going to). Uh-oh Problem again.
 
This summarizes pretty much whats happened, I've tried installing the 1600MHz Ram and it'll boot the first time but when restarted will go back to restarting over and over.
So i need to know! What am i doing wrong if im doing something wrong, or whats Broken?

1. One entry per user. Duplicate posts and posts from duplicate accounts will be deleted before a winner is drawn, to leave one post per person.
 
2. Winners will have 72 hours to respond. If a winner does not respond within that time, a new winner will be drawn.
 
3. This is a worldwide giveaway with no age restrictions. Shipping costs will be covered by the shipper, but any duties/taxes/other fees upon delivery will be the sole responsibility of the winner.
 
 
Alright, now that we've got that out of the way, OMG THIS IS AWESOME HOW DO I WIN ONE???:
 
1. Comment below letting us know which Razer laptop you would prefer to win. Feel free to make it fun - what would you use it for? Why do you prefer the Blade or the Blade Stealth?
 
2. This is not a REQUIREMENT for entry, but you should definitely follow Razer on Twitter and subscribe to their YouTube page. In addition to providing the laptops for this awesome giveaway AND sponsoring our trip to PAX, they work with a plethora of other incredible creators in a number of spaces, and release cool content with some of them on a fairly regular basis.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ENTERING, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS CRAZY JOURNEY
 
 
EDIT:
 
Alright, we have selected our winners!!!
 
@Plavi and @willp3, you have 72 hours to respond to the DMs I am sending you right now. If we do not receive a reply in that time, new winners will be chosen! Since both said that the Blade would be their choice, it's on a "first replied first served" basis. (for clarity - what this means is that the first winner to reply will get their choice between the two laptops, and the second winner to reply will get the laptop that the first winner did not choose. This does not mean that we're only giving away one laptop...)
 
Thanks everyone.
 
 
EDIT2:
 
Alright, so @Plavi has officially claimed the New Blade! Congrats on winning

But, unfortunately for @willp3, he did not respond in time to claim his prize...

Our new Blade Stealth winner is @ted542! Check your inbox, you have 72 hours to reply
 
 
EDIT3:
 
Both laptops have now been claimed. Thanks for participating in this awesome giveaway, and please be sure to keep an eye out for giveaways in the future!
 
 
Please don't report posts in this topic - all duplicates will be handled before drawing, so if you have double posted, don't worry about it.

The V300 is the SSD to avoid. Kingston pulled some shady business with it awhile after it came out.
 
Edit: Definitely avoid it. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7763/an-update-to-kingston-ssdnow-v300-a-switch-to-slower-micron-nand
