[QUOTE="buttfacebob545"][QUOTE="CUDGEdave"]The best thing is to do one at a time,then "if" your ram is faulty you'll know which stick is.neatfeatguy
Ok, just un did one, took it out, checked it out without touching the metal parts and only the plastic, then pushed it all the way back in and clicked both ends. Then did the same for the other, and checked my computer and system and it says i have my 8.00 GB ddr3 working. So yea I did it correctly. And if I get a blue screen again, I'll try to contact you on here. I think whatbuttfacebob545 was trying to say was this:
1) power down your PC
2) Remove your RAM
3) Put 1 stick the first DIMM slot (consult your MB manual) and then power on your PC. If your PC powers up into Windows, run it for a bit to see if you get errors.
4) Go back to steps 1-3, however this time use the OTHER stick of RAM and power your PC on. Run it for a while to see if it errors on you.
If at anytime you cannot get your PC to load up with one of those sticks of RAM, then that stick is for sure bad. If your PC loads up with both sticks, you could still be having issues. You can see if you can run Memtest86, if you need help getting that to work you can ask here.
Well, I reseated them and clicked them both back in, and nothing has happened since. So let's hope everything's alright.
