Jul 17, More than likely it sounds like the voltage is different in the mismatched RAM sticks which could cause heat spikes. In most cases, switching to RAM with heatspreaders should only increase price by a small amount.
No, why would it, ram has nothing to do with cooling. It might warm the computer by an immeasurable amount because each stick of ram uses a couple watts of power. After that happen i have been able to start my computer a couple times ,but some other times i try the power buttom just keep flashing amber and beeping noise.. I have owned computers for years and I have all those problems at one time or another.
Many were attributed to other things, but the main cause seemed to be the RAM. I will definitely use these tips the next time I have an issue with my RAM.
I have a Dell D which started displaying pink lines across the screen as it was in use, then started to turn off by itself, then it wouldn't boot up at all I suspected a bad hard drive to be the reason, replaced the gb HDD with a larger capacity 1TB HDD one. Excellent advice about RAM, which can cause all sorts of problems.
Adding extra is also a great way to speed up your PC, but it's important to get the compatible variety. So far, no problems with mine. Sorry my hp system usually display blue light nd restarts immediately but now when I switch it on the caplock would blink several times and the screen wouldn't display anything! Maybe it's something I should consider a little more. I gain more knowledge from your blog. Thanks a lot Please post more blogs related it. Hi i have problem with my pc.
RAM problem is a big issue in computer. Now I can't get in my pc. What would cause this problem. Was reading a lot of post and I removed one ram and the screen black is it a bad ram or worse. After a few weeks i get this smiley blue screen, do you know how to solve this?
I hope my motherboard is ok. Its starting and with in 2 seconds its getting turn off.. What's the probleme how could i get rid out of the problem. Any suggestion?? Ok let me get your advice on this.
I had a computer at work I was using to program Plc. My boss's son got on the computer's and invited a rather nasty virus in which crashed all the computers in the office in one day. Since then the teck came in and cleaned house. My boss asked if I could build a computer to use for myself rather then buying one. Knowing a "little" bit and being and idiot I said I would try. I build the computer and pulled what data I could off the old hard drive.
So my first guess was" virus" it must have been brought over with the data. No problem I have made paper copy of the programs by now. So while it is painful I could retypt the programs back in.
I then reformate hard drive and reinstall os "windows 7 home ". It then works for 2 weeks then bsod. Ok I googled the problem and read that in some cases it can live through a format and still be on the hard drive. Ok so I pull hard drive out and replace it with a brand new one. Again 2 weeks and bsod. So more googling. I call motherboard manufacturer they say to update bios I try that still 2 weeks in bsod.
Ok by this time I am mad. I Pull out the credit card. New mother board new hard drive new power supply. Install all this and again 2 weeks later bsod. I didn't get new ram I used the old one from the computer that I just build. Not from the computer that had the virus. I talked to a guy he says" you probably just had bad ram and it just looked like a virus was transferred " so ok I put new ram in it and again bsod 2 weeks later. I ask him again.
He said well some times when you have had bad ram it can corrupt the virtual ram and just replacing the ram won't do it. You need to reset the virtual ram as well. That is we're I am now. O I also upgraded to windows 7 professional durring all this. What do you think?
Social Networking. Internet Culture. I think you linked to the wrong profile. That profile is a Pimento. Run with just the new sticks, this could be defective chips, RAm over clocking is rare to say the least. Test the new sticks on their own and see if they are still over heating, if they are then i would send them back, if its just in conjunction with the old sticks then it would likely point to a missmatch issue.
I've also ran the same ram sets you mention but the DDR3 counterparts, the XMS series always runs hotter as its the cheaper series and its not put together as well, or dissipate heat that well. I currently run 6 ram sticks of the Dominator Ram at home and its almost always okay to touch but still warm. More than likely it sounds like the voltage is different in the mismatched RAM sticks which could cause heat spikes. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question.
