not booting due ram

[Matiasqooo]

hey guys!

i am trying to configure pc for best what i can

Lenovo ThinkCenter M90p

so i put in 2Gb ram stick in slot-1, 2 and 3   then everything is okey, but when i put last stick in which is 4Gb the PC in bios shows 10Gb of ram but won't boot in windows, it is starting to load and blue screens

i take out all ram sticks and except the 4Gb still it wont boot but on diferent motherboard the stick is everything alright

is there any way to fix it ?

Try using only the 2 GB modules in dual channel.

it is working and 3 modules even work

,but is there a way to get those 3x2Gb modules work side by side with 4Gb module?

Yea i need to know the model.

I'm afraid it's one from the generation before sandy bridge (don't know the name) and they aren't capable of anything above 8GB ram total.

And because you have 4 slots it's possible the limit per slot is only 2GB....

If this is correct, you are out of luck sadly.

I had a notebook for school, used it for 1.5 years with a 580m, worked like a charm. But i needed 16GB because i need to run a bunch of vm's.

So i got a 2x8gb set, popped it in and it just didn't work. W7 bluescreened, ubuntu didn't boot, capacity wasn't correctly recognized. It was just a mess.

Ended up swapping it for a notebook with a 2520m and popped the 16GB kit in that. Since then no issues.
