Is there any Ram Issue between these 2 types of RAM ? Need suggestions.

Because After I installed 2 rams more (4GB) System has started hanging/Freezing. Mouse freezes more or then. I have ASUS M4A89GTD PRO with AMD Phenom II 1090T.
I changed Mouse still no change. I have PS2 Keyboard and USB mouse. Even in Safe mode it freezes. But mostly in first boot. After I reset everything fine. My cpu temp is 45 Idle and 55 on load on stock cooler by amd.
I have ordered Zalman CNPS5X to install. Ran Memtest twice but no problems found. Sometime After I clean PC case It doesnot find HDD  but recognizes in BIOS. I have upgraded to latest version 3027 bios .
PC Diagnostics by ASUS also didn't find any issue.
Now my brain Is not working.

could be one stick of bad ram! Wouldn't hurt to run a check!

http://www.memtest86.com/

Download memtest86 burn it to disc and run it in dos.

Put one stick at a time into your computer start the computer OUT of CMOS - make sure you have DVD drive in the bios first in boot up.

Run memtest at least to 3 tests. about 45minutes for all 3 tests to run - to show any errors in memory. Then hit ESC shut down the computer take out the stick and replace it with anther stick and boot up again into memtest. Do this with each individual sticks - You can put them in either slot doesn't matter.

P.S.

Don't rely on the premise that it might be a new stick that is necessarily going bad!

Hopefully, someone else might post possibilities of what is going on as well! Until then it never hurts to always check your memory for errors.

Good Idea. I have it installed in Pendrive. I will try it on. I have been advised to Clear CMOS by ASUS team.

That is ASUS standard procedure for just about any problem. Not that it isn't a bad idea.

I have 2 of these each 2GB x 4 = 8 GB ram . It will run for decades then ?

No! It won't. 2 passes run about an hour and a half per stick. But it is worth your time and peace of mind to know they are good and put that issue behind you! eh!

I did all four of my 2Gig sticks at 3 pass and was a happy camper to know that they were good. Also, I shifted each stick into the proceeding slot to check slots as well.

But I tend to be methodical.

I also think this is a very good idea every time you get new memory sticks. :wink:

I've run sticks that seem good and after 2 passes show tons of errors. Amazing! You would think the stick would have to outright go dead to produce those errors, but not so-they happen even when they are on their way out and sometimes not noticeable until you run passes behind the initial first pass.

You don't have to do any of this! :wink::grin: But I think you will! :yell:
