  1. PC bluescreens with 16gb of ram, but not with 8gb


    I recently built a new computer and have been getting lots of random bluescreens. They were all memory errors, so I took one of the two sticks out and the crashes stopped. I thought that maybe the stick I took out was faulty, so I switched them out to test it, but still, no problems.


    They aren't incompatible with each other, either. I bought them together; they are both G.Skill Ripjaws V, 8gb each. I've also downloaded all available drivers for my CPU, GPU, and motherboard, and Windows is up to date.


    Not really sure what else to do, any help is greatly appreciated.

    8GB of ram or 16GB of ram in Win. 10?

    hi,

    I have read that 8GB ideal for most users. Devices with 16GB of ram is expensive.

    8GB of ram or 16GB of ram in Win. 10?

    hi,

    I am in Taiwan and might buy a new laptop. For Windows 10, 8GB of ram or 16GB of ram good? I plan to install Photoshop and Illustrator.

    PC bluescreens with 16gb of ram, but not with 8gb

    Upgrading RAM to 12GB or 16GB?

    Hi everyone:

    I have this machine:

    Intel DB75EN...........it has 8GB of DDR3 RAM..... it's an older i5-2400 at 3ghz.

    I acidentally (nice) discovered there's still a chance to improve RAM...I can't buy or afford a newer PC.

    Amazon has Crucial DDR3 and they fit my machine in the specs checker they have.

    I recently added an Crucial SSD and have Windows 10 installed there. It boots better and folders open faster than the HDD.

    However, apps aren't faster at all. Just Windows.

    The machine has 2 sticks of 4GB installed which make the 8GB. Going from 8GB to 12GB........will it make a difference?

    Or it's better to go to 16GB?.

    If I could I would to go to 32GB.......the machine specs says it supports up to 32GB RAM (however I can't afford it), since they're DDR3, they are older and are NOT cheap. I can only afford up to 16GB.

    Should I make the effort to get 16GB or will 12GB be good?

    Thanks so much for your suggestions.
