Installed more ram (problems)

[Z_Jester_]

Hey guys, I have a really bad problem at the moment. This is my first time installing/adding more ram to my system and it's becoming a problem. When I placed in my 3 new ram sticks and booted it everything was fine. I played like 6 hours of cod and was just relaxing on discord when my PC got the blue screen with an error code. The first one was QRL error code something like that. I let it reboot on its own and in a matter of 10 mins it did it again with a different code. The process continued with a different code each time. 

 

This lead me to trying my ram sticks out one at a time, I started with my original and it didn't crash, and so on to my new set that I bought. They all work by itself. I then added 2 new ones in 2 slots, it is working and has not crashed. 

 

My problem is that if they are all 4 in I get the blue error codes, from looking at my ramsticks they are the all the same except for one thing...which makes me think my original one is a old out dated version and the new set I got is an updated version...but the new set all end in 8410C and the old one ends in 8821A. Everything else on it is the same.. 

 

G skill F4-2133C15S-8GIS

DDR4-2133 CL 15-15-35 1.20V 

 

I will insert images of new ram stick and old ram stick, any opinions on the matter? Is having a older version of the same ram stick can cause this? Please help me out cause I thought this was going to be a simple painless process...

I saw on YouTube about that, but I'm worried about actually doing it and frying my mother board or fucking up something... I turn everything off and unplug it whenever I open it up, but just being inexperience keeps me meh about doing it..I will try though, I'll have to look at my B450 A-Pro manual and see exactly where it's at etc.

Try removing the CMOS  battery and boot the system for about 1 min Then reinstall the battery.Hope it helps

And also The model number is different for the last one so I think it is unable run on 2 dual or quad channel

Will it be okay if I out in my 3rd ram stick from the set that I bought do I absolutely need the 4th one with it?

Ya you can .Try removing only the odd one 

 

But if you need more ram buy one more stick with the same model number

So I removed the old one and half the 3 new sticks in, it worked for a whole day and a half and now my computer is constantly crashing again...

To my knowledge my MSI B450 A Pro is at its updated current version. I just did a mem test with the 3 new ram sticks and it says it is fine that there was nothing wrong...

I think memory retraining is needed.

Clear CMOS

 Hope this works
