My Ram got stolen, now I need a new one, but I don't know where :(

Hey guys,

 

I am a 16yr old student that loves gaming and does some hobbyish graphics. Because of that I recently (Christmas) got 2x8 gb of Kingston HyperX Beast 2400 ClL11 Ram. But some weeks ago when I had "friends" over some as***** just stole 1x8GB of my Ram.... I had my PC running open at that time because my old GTX 470 was running impossibly hot when rendering/gaming. I have no idea who it was and I don't see any chance of finding out who it was. Since then my PC would permanently crash in Firefox or Chrome or Games... Now that my birthday is on 2nd April I would have enough money to get 1x8GB of the ram again but as far as I've seen nobody on the planet sells single 8GB modules of that RAM. :/ Does anybody have any Idea what I could do, since I can't just buy 16 more Gigs because of my lack of money I'm out of options honestly...

 

Greets, Thomas

Try contacting Kingston and see if they can sell you one moudle

 

OR

 

invite all of them back to your house, lock em in, tie em up and make em give it back

8 gigs shouldn't make it crash unless its a bad dimm of ram but it could be somthing else ,however, I would recommend buying a single 8 gig stick of something like corsair vengance or g-skill ripjaws.

Rose's are red violets are blue, without computers I'd know not what to do.

Just question the group of so called "friends".

 

See which one breaks out laughing, and you can b sure they know something. Kick them in teh balls and tell them to spill it out.

 

Problemo solved?

There is no chance of getting it back, I asked the parents of the guy that I think that got it but his parents were like "p*ss off"... Asked the police too but they said I can't do anything without any evidence. By the way which email of Kingston should I contact  since I'm getting really confused by their support page?? (I live in germany) And its not like I can'T do anything but the singe one is running very unstable so alot of Programs crash occasionally...

Try this page.

 

http://www.kingston.com/de/company/contacts

 

Contact Customer Care first, and if that's no good, go with Technical Support, and if that's no good, try Public Relations. idk go down the list lol.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Just sent a message to Kingston... I really hope they can do anything if not I'm truly f*cked.

Since I need to get a new PSU because mine is so old that it just barely can keep up with my System that I just don't have enough money to get 2x8GB again. :/

Thanks for the support though.

shut down your machine. remove and replace the stick that you have. reset the cmos. try things out.

 

don't buy more ram. you don't need more than 8gigs and you don't need to run it in dual channel mode to get good performance. it will also leave you open to more theft.

 

take your machine and all your hardware/software home. you can't trust the people you are surrounded by. before you know it you'll have nothing.

I do need more than 16Gig fore Video Editing. (4790k, 8 threads  2gigs for every thread and I have 16 gigs maxed out already) You cannot deny that. Why should I take my stuff home if its already there. My PC ist closed now due to my 970 where the fans don't turn on most of the times. :) And I have abandoned all the people that were there already so that's over now.

I would definitely try out different things before buying more RAM, but here are a few options if you decide to go down that route (Keep in mind that I don't know how amazon works in Germany, or what the prices will be, but this is what I found...

Look into locking your pc sidepanels.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

I think they meant for DDR4, I had the same problem.

Until I found the Crucial Ballistix CL16 8GB 2400..

that's why I mentioned ps or motherboard............. OP must be sleeping. not sure he's willing to try anything to see if it helps. thinks buying new ram will "fix' it.
