  1. Tried to install 8GB DDR4 on my Asus but hosed the machine


    I think the problem may have been that the computer was not unplugged, merely turned off. Just a guess.

    The motherboard has two slots for DDR4. The machine had one and I bought another.

    We plugged it in and booted up the computer.

    It did boot up but still showed 8GB of RAM, so we powered it down and tried to reseat it.

    When we started it up, now the power light was blinking and the fan would start and then stop.

    If it's hosed, I'll take the HD out and put it as a second HD in my new machine.

    :)

    DDR4 2400MHz C14 or DDR4 2133MHz C13

    neither is better. thy are likely the same thing, with near identical performance. As suggested, some user report issue with BIOS compatibility with Corsair DDR4 (more than is normal), so be sure the memory is on your board's QVL list (although 2400 MHz is rather slow for DDR4, 3000-3200 MHz is where real performance benefit of DDR4 begins)

  3. Asus Xonar D2 won't install in Win 10

    Hi Podge,

    Sorry for the delay in reply.

    What happens when you try to install the software?

    I suggest you to re -install the software and check.

    Try the following steps to un-install:

    • Right click on Start menu, click Programs and features
    • Select Asus Xonar D2 highlight it and uninstall
    • Now download and -reinstall the software and check if that helps.

    Thanks,

    • GeForce GTX960M (4gb)
    • 8gb OEM 260pin SO-DIMM DDR4 - DDR4 2133 MHz (4gb are solid, 4 are removable)
    • motherboard: Intel HM170 (Skylake PCH-H)

    I have red to posting instructions, and I hope that I haven't forgotten anything important. If you need something else, please let me know.

    And I am sorry for my bad english, I haven't written something in english since years....


    Sincerely
