Hey everyone, let me share a quick update. I’m really into LMG and definitely there are passionate fans out there. I watch all the content on YouTube, even though I usually skip the technical details. I enjoy the news, reviews, and the DIY projects you post—it’s made me realize how much I could improve myself. If I put in a bit more effort, I’d probably tackle upgrading my old Samsung TV to match the setup the creators use. After watching many computer build guides, I decided to upgrade my PC’s RAM from 4 GB to 32 GB. I went to a local store in Sydney and bought four new Kingston RAM sticks. I installed them one by one, starting with the first that worked, then the second. When I tried to boot up, only two slots were functional. I put the remaining two in and was relieved when the computer started working. I’m hoping someone can help me get those two slots operational so my old machine can run at its best again. Here’s what I have so far:

- CPU: Asus Tek P8Z77-M (I7 - 3370, 3.4 GHz)
- Current RAM: 4 GB
- Upgrade target: 32 GB Kingston KVR16N11/8
- Location: Sydney, Australia
- Goal: Bring my old PC back to top performance!

Have you checked if the other RAM sticks fit in the original slots before installing?

Sure, I did the swaps on the other sets to check registration. They appeared, any alternative beginner options you'd like to try?

You might attempt removing the commas, but that won’t solve the issue. It’s possible to perform a memory test on each stick separately, then in groups, and finally with three if you can.
