Memory problems possible replace

[chris020]

Currently have
16GB (2x8GB) CRUCIAL BALLISTIX SPORT DDR3 1600MHz MEMORY in my ageing PC.

Windows 10 is BSOD stating Memory Issues and a hardware problem. Sounds like a ram stick, maybe faulty?

Can I still get replacements sticks and take my machine up to 32gb from 16gb?

PC Spec
Device name DESKTOP-CFANL8V
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.50 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.

Can anyone point me in the direction?

Thanks
Chris

Download memtest and test the memory.

You should be able to add another 2 X 8gb of the same if your motherboard has 4 slots so check.

eBay is your best bet to find the same memory.

Many thanks on the case.

I think Ballistix had a lifetime warranty, so you should be able to get replacements, but I think it has been discontinued across all lines so Crucial will probably offer you a regular module with no heatsinks.

Check your temps are fine by the way.

Thanks, all fixed and took opportunity to upgrade to 32gb.
