Booting up?

#1

My computer will freeze at the windows logo screen if i have my two ram sticks in but if i only have 1 in then itll boot into windows any idea?

My opinion: RAM Stick is bad?

Run memtest86, you can get this by just getting almost any GNU/Linux distro and just running it off of a CD.

Check your motherboard’s manual. There should be a ‘recommended’ method of inserting your ram sticks, such as placing them in DIM2 and DIM4 with 2 sticks, DIM 2, 3, and 1 for 3 sticks, and 2,4,1,3 with 4 sticks, obviously common pairs of 2 in the dim2-4, 1-3 sockets.

some motherboards actually only function if they’re in this order; in fact, my motherboard says it’s suggested to put it in that order, but whenever i inserted it in any socket i wanted to, it would run incredibly slow, give me BSODs and freeze on bootup a lot.

I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, but I just fill all sockets on my motherboard with the same sticks and i dont have any issues.
