Hello everyone, I have a question for ya.
My system specs are up to date in my profile if you need to cross reference anything.
I recently bought a set (2x2GB) that is totally identical to my current set when it comes to voltage, timing and model number. The only difference is the orientation of the logo and another sticker which may be the serial number. I'll attach pictures below for comparison.
Whenever I install the second pair of sticks, the computer posts fine and starts to boot but about 10 seconds into the "Starting Windows" screen the flay stops waving and it just sits there until reset. Take the memory back out and it works just fine.
The retailer I got the sticks from on eBay said they were tented the day they were shipped out and worked perfectly but is willing to offer a refund plus return shipping if I can't get them working so I really don;t think they are making that up.
I would love to get these working because of how hard it was to find a matching set of this RAM.
I checked my BIOS and it is up to date.
Please let me knoe if anyone has some recommendations of diagnostics or fixes I could try.
Thanks in advance!!
