RAM Upgrade

[aBrokeGamer]

Hi there.

 

So my friends RAM on hes classic rig just started giving him BSOD (memory error) now he only has 2GB's of RAM.

 

Mobo: MSI G41M SP20 (btw why does it look like he should have 4 dimms and not 2 -_-?)

CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600

So he needs RAM but I don't know the mobo nor the specs.

So please recommend RAM, I.E Corsair 4GB 1333

if it's to spice up an old rig.. whatever's compatible and cheap.

So this will 100% work, install then run?

It should just be plug-and-play, yeah.

it is the most "plain jane" DDR3 dimm ever made, there's no reason for it not to.

double check to be sure, is the system running DDR2 or DDR3? the dimms should mention it on them somewhere

The mobo is DDR3, but can only take RAM with a max speed of 1333 Mhz.

So the RAM doesn't work -_-, when I put it in it gives me 3 beeps error (memory malfunction, I think) and everything else works it just doesn't show to boot windows, checked all the other DIMMS with other RAM and the work fine, *sad*
