Received my 2x4GB Kingston modules today. Tried to plug them into my PC. I was so sure that everything will go fine that replaced the screws on the case.
No luck.
The system does not work with the 8GB RAM, still does work fine with 4GB though.
The modules are Kingston KVR800D2N6/4G.
I tried them in all combinations. One module at a time, in different slots etc.
I tried them in combination with my working 2GB modules. Only the working module is recognized.
I tried to reset BIOS settings (CMOS?).
I tried different BIOS settings, not all of them though. There are way too many combinations
P.S.
While tinkering I accidentally squeezed one of the PSU wires between the RAM module clip and the RAM module itself. Seems it is just an insulation dent and everything still works fine. I do not want to cut the wire and resolder.
Symptoms are still the same. The system does not boot, no beeps, no display output.Comment

Still does not work. I’ve returned the modules back to the seller, they are on their way back. My guess is that the modules were counterfeit.
The seller listed the modules as “AMD only”, though they were on my motheboard’s compatibility list. Perhaps I’ll buy a new motherboard. I hope DDR3 or even DDR4 ram has better throughput not just sheer volume.
This thread can be closed. Thanks everyone.Comment
