Should be fine on my PC. Might need to slap some more RAM in there... I have 16 GB (4x4GB) available but whenever I put in more than two sticks it constantly crashes. Not sure if bad RAM or bad mobo

Which version of Windows are you running? Hopefully 64 bit. Quite certain 32bit cannot utilize anything > 8GB.

Swap out all the pieces of RAM and power the machine on to see if the RAM is bad. If you hook 2 pieces at a time in the same two slots and it works, swap with the other two slots and see if you have trouble.

If you don't have any issues on the first two slots, but you do on the 2nd two, it is most likely your moBo.

Pancreas and shaz bagl too.

hey @drave, revisiting this post

in the process of cleaning out my hard drive in anticipation for installing O/S on a fresh SSD, figure I will get all this RAM crap sorted while I do that

can I boot up my machine with no RAM sticks at all inserted? And manually add them in as I go to test?
