Hi there :)

I have a problem to installs 4 sticks of RAM on GA-P43-ES3G

At this time only 1 sticks can work fine without a problem.
when I tried to installs 2 sticks in 1 & 2 channel I get blue screen after while, but before that I running "Windows Memory Diagnostic" and there was no error has been detected :wtf: .

Also, when I tried to installs 4 sticks sometimes there was no video output, and other time crashed a lot


Did I need to update BIOS? or could be a software that makes all this troubles?

RAM CPU-Z

Have you tried using just one stick of RAM in each channel individually?


This seems like you might be having a problem with the motherboard to me if you can only run one stick of RAM regardless of what slot you put it in.

okay, after testing I found 2 sticks are faulty
one of them make system unstable and gives blue screen
other one, sometimes shows no video & make random restart

other works fine.


Download this and burn to a CD. Boot with it in the CD drive and let it test the sticks. Test one stick at a time then all four.
