Hello guys!
PC Specs:
CPU : i5-4670K
GPU : Sapphire Vapor-X R9 270X (Waiting on my new RX 580 to arrive)
MB : Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H
RAM : DDR3 HyperX Black kit of 2x4gb (KHX16C9B1BK2/8X)
PSU : Orion 585w
Recently, I looked into the performance of my machine due to slowdown problems. My machine was obviously out of date so I decided to add RAM and change my video card, as my CPU is still good.
I have read that models and brands of RAM do not mix. I then decided to check on Ebay if there was not someone selling the same model of DDR3 that I currently have. There are four spaces reserved on the motherboard for the modules. I found someone selling two 4GB sticks of the same model that I already had. So I bought them.
When I received the bars, I checked that it was indeed the same model and then I installed them. The computer turns on and off automatically after one to two seconds before restarting in loop without reaching the bios.
I then tested each bar individually in each of the available slots and everything works perfectly. When I use 3 bars simultaneously, it works, but I experienced unexpected shutdowns and my mouse stopped working. I also had a bsod (atikmdag.sys) when I had three bars.
I'm trying to understand .. The four bars have the same model number (KHX16C9B1BK2/8X). Based on https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator my machine draws around 500w, but my PSU is 585w. It is my MB?
Please help!
