Hi, and thanks for taking the time to read this
I've been running this computer for about 3 years now. I had Windows XP 32 bit installed. Recently I wanted to start playing a more demanding game online, and so I wanted to upgrade my RAM. Since XP has a 4gb RAM cap, I had to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.
A friend wanted me to test his RAM out, since he was having issues and didn't know if it was his RAM or his video card. I figured the timing was pretty good since I was waiting on my RAM anyways, and I had already installed Windows 7.
Upon putting his RAM in I couldn't get to bios even. I figured it was just his RAM, but now I have the same problem with my RAM that I ordered.
I'm not sure what the specs are on my old RAM, and I can't find the package(though I can find every other hardware package from this computer) it came in.
My motherboard is:
ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO
My new RAM is:
G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9Q-32GSR
I already looked into it and found out that my motherboard is only compatible to 16GB of RAM. Finding this I tried 2, and even 1 stick of this new RAM, all with the same result. I put my old RAM back in and it booted up just fine.
Any help would be appreciated, as I'm at a loss at this point. Thank you for your time.
