Hi again all, i did a little test with the ram there, i put one stick in and the pc came on np, was reading the extra 2 gb, so 6gb in total. The i took that stick out and put the other one in and the pc didnt come on at all, a faulty stick i take it then?.

I purchased the memory new, no returns accepted, what do i do, im stuck.

The seller said the memory was new, i did some more tests, i put the other good stick in the box in on its own and the whole pc came on as normal, including the monitor etc, i then put the other dodgy stick in along with the good one, and guess what, the monitor wouldent come on. I then put the dodgy stick in by itself and the monitor didnt come on again, im thinking a faulty stick then, whats does everyone think?.

Hi guys, i tried a lot of different variations with the new memory and my current memory, the same thing happens with the faulty stick installed, when i take it out, all is good, as i said i tried it on its own aswell and the same problem occures. I only get the behavior with the particular dodgy stick installed, i also contacted technical support from the ocz website and he said its a faulty stick.
