Windows 10: Computer Lag after RAM Upgrade

Hi. I recently upgraded my ram from 2gb to 5gb and suddenly windows, games and programs lag. They are the same clockspeed and same brand and my motherboard supports it. Pls tell me if there is a fix.


My Specs are:

Packard Bell imedia S1800 PC

Ram: 5.0 GB (4.86 Usable) DDR3

SSD: Crucial BX200

Media Accelerator/GPU: Intel® G41 Express Chipset

CPU: Intel® Celeron E330 Dual Core @ 2.50 Ghz

Motherboard: Veriton M275 with Latest BIOS

Windows 10 64bit Pro.

Video card or RAM need upgrading?

Memtest: no errors after 10 hrs.
I'm going to perform the Primetest, later on. Get back to you on that.
I'm going to take it step by step, guys. I need to find the problem with this current computer. I might have to upgrade some components, so that it is still runnable. As for the new one, yes....i will build on it later. I need to find something decent 'gaming experience', all suggestions appreciated. THanks.

 

Random lag spikes

Hi,

We would like to know more about your lag issue:

• What browser are you using when you experience a lag?
• Does the lag occur in a particular game?

In the meantime, we suggest you run the System Maintenance troubleshooter. Here are the steps:

• Press Windows Key + X.
• Click on Control Panel.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• On the left pane, click on View All.
• Click on System Maintenance to run the troubleshooter.

Looking forward to your response.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
