Bluescreen with new Ram

[Painter21]

Hey Folks,

First I want to apologize for my english, i am working on it.

 

I bought new 4x4gb Ram a few days since i felt like 8 gb is a bit low theese days.

I got some bluescreen and i thought one of the sticks is defect. I just put 2 of them in at a time- everything worked.

So it can not be the ram itself. Secondly i searched for my mainboard, maybe it does not support 16gb ram (yeah it is super old).

Under memory you can see that that it actually supports 16 gb, so i have no idea what is going on.

 

Anyone who knows more?

Thanks for any help

 

PS: The ram:

Did you try them in the 2x2 in all 4 slots? or the same 2 slots. Sounds like a bad ram slot on your board. You can also look at doing a BiOS update on your board as well to see if it fixes it, but likely not.

I am also using an old mobo, and I too have dead ram slots. So it's not uncommon.

[Painter21]

I also tested the other 2 ram slots
Theese were my 3 tests:

1 1 0 0

2 2 0 0

0 0 1 1

 

So nope, thats not it.

Could it be that i am like a few mb about the maximum ram ? Hard disc drives are not on point aswell from time to time.

See if you can update the BiOS and retest.

Did the Bios update, now ive got a black screen of death when i plugin 4 Sticks at once. (But the Fans are still working)

Btw 3 Sticks are working(did not test bevore).

Nvm i get a bluescreen with 3 sticks aswell when i leave the loginscreen of windows.

I tried the same thing again. This time ive got several display driver cashes... After each of them windows recovered for a couple of second to shuts down again.

Maybe it is the Bios update? Doing a 2 Stick test now with a little bit of gaming.

It does not seem to be the bios update.

last bump (aslong as i cant provide more information)

I just realized that my 2 old sticks only got 16 memory -things on one bar, but the new ones have 32. Could it be that the processor(or whatever) can not handle that much? And 4 gb sticks usually got 16 aswell?
