RAM Problems

[Gavin Gilchrist]

Hi there i recently got given a 8gb kit (2x4gb) of corsiar vengance from a family member the kit works perfectly fine i know that for sure but when i plug it into my pc im getting some problems when i try run aida64 stress test on my ram i get thie error( warning hardware failure detected test stopped ) i think this is because im running it along side my current 16gb the system worked fine with 2x8gb crucial 1600 mhz  but when i add the additional 8 i get the error i have both kits running at 9-9-9-28 in the bios and both set to 1600mhz the voltage is set to auto both the kits work fine by themselfs but not together is there anything i can do to fix this issue or am i just not going to be able to run a 4 sticks

If had asked this forum before buying those, you'd probably get 10 people saying it's a terrible idea to mix different RAM.

 

Edit: RAM is very picky, you should have bought the same set from the same company.

maybe the ddr version is incompatible with the motherboard

maybe overclock them both to the same frequency.

It also says you are running them in dual channel config

yeah, using different ram like that is unreliable at best, it's a nice idea to have more but best to just give them back. Do you really need more than 16gb?
