Windows 10: The Revenge of the BSOD - Random BSOD Strikes Back

I see, and I can use the new RAM with my working stick despite the brand difference? Should all the sticks be the same capacity?

 

You might be better off with a new matching pair of 8GB sticks giving you a total of 16GB memory. I doubt that you would see any benefit from adding back in your old stick but you could certainly do that to increase total memory to 20GB if needed but you would lose the dual channel memory benefit.

 

You should always use a kit, not memory of different makes/models.

 

Ah I see, guess I'll get a dual channel 16gb kit like you mentioned. I suppose I can find a use for this working stick in some other project. Thanks! I'll check back with updates if anything happens
