schawks73 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I just purchased the following RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233246 and ever since then, my computer has been randomly shutting off. Randomly = sometimes 3x within 15 minutes, sometimes once after 4-5 hours of constant use, sometimes it doesn't shut off for a couple days. When it shuts off, it's like I hold the power button and it quickly restarts. I have the following mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131647 I called ASUS and they told me to contact Corsair. I then contacted Corsair via phone several times and it eventually went to voicemail. I have also run Memtest86 with both sticks in at the same time and after 14 passes @ 10 tests each pass, it came out with no errors... Before I used the following (x2 so 4x sticks of 2GB) for about 2.5 years with no issue: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277 Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I also tried doing the compatibility tester on here and my mobo isn't on the list, the M4A77TD is, but not the M4A87TD :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Sorry to say,no those are not compatible. Your CPU /MB won't support 8 gig modules. For you to be able to max out the memory on that board you need a 4x4gig kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schawks73 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thank you very much for your help, I was afraid of that. So I should be good if I get a new mobo that CAN support the 8GB sticks? or would I have to replace the CPU AND the mobo to work with this RAM?
