System hangs endlessly after updating RAM installation
System hangs endlessly after updating RAM installation
Your current RAM is a G.Skill Value 4GB DDR3 at 1333Mhz. I installed Dynet DDR3 1600Mhz in the second slot of your ASUS H81M-R motherboard, which has two slots. The system boots up, fans spin, and then restarts repeatedly. Trying to swap slots didn’t help. The old RAM works fine by itself, but the new one doesn’t. Also, the new RAM alone doesn’t function properly. Maybe overclocking your old RAM to 1600Mhz or adjusting its timings to match the new setup could resolve this. I also noticed someone swapped their reset connector on the front panel—could that be useful? Let me know if you need further guidance.
I don't understand how to check the latency of a new RAM module since it won't boot with it. I can't find this information online, and the model you mentioned seems to be an older version (9.9.9.24).
I’ll check the CMOS and confirm the sticker details. It shows 4GB with 1Rx8 at 12800Hz. Latency depends on your setup—let me know if you need help tuning it!
