The speed of the personal computer directly depends on the proper selection and installation of all its components. The correct selection and installation of the RAM memory modules is the most important key to the successful work of your PC.
In the previous article we looked at. In this article, we will look at the issues of selecting RAM and its competent layout in the motherboard connectors.
Basic recommendations applicable to all types and types of memory:
- set the best DIMM modules with the same amount of memory;
- modules must match the frequency of work (MHz) if you install modules with different frequencies of work, then in the end they will all work at the frequency of slow memory itself;
- in the installed RAM card boards, it is advisable to combine timings, latency (delays) of memory;
- Select the modules better from one manufacturer and one model.
Some enthusiasts try to buy modules from one party, but it seems to me, already perversion!
These tips are not strictly performed, there are different situations. If the memory modules differ from each other by the manufacturer, the volume and frequency of work - it does not mean that they will not work. In this case, there are no special secrets of the layout of memory - it is enough to install them.
There are also no features when installing already outdated SDRAM memory types (there is one rule - the more, the better).
But in modern computers, motherboards support special operational memory modes. It is in these modes that the speed of the RAM memory will be the most efficient. Therefore, to achieve the best speed, you should consider the modes of operation of the DIMM modules and their proper installation. Let's consider the most common operational memory modes today.
RAM operational memory modes
Single Chanell Mode.
Single Mode. (single Channel or asymmetric mode) - This mode is implemented when only one memory module is installed in the system or all DIMM modules differ from each other by memory, work frequency or manufacturer. It does not matter what connectors and what memory to install. The whole memory will work at the speed of slower from the installed memory.
If only one module, it can be installed in any memory connector:
Two or three different memory modules can also be installed in any configuration:
Such a mode is more needed when the RAM is already there, and in the first place there is an increase in the amount of memory and saving money, and not the achievement of the best PC performance. If you only buy a computer, of course, it is better to avoid such a memory installation.
Dual Chanell Mode.
Dual Mode. (two-channel or symmetrical mode) - In each DIMM channel, the same amount of RAM is installed. Modules are selected by frequency of work. On motherboards, the DIMM connectors for each channel differ in color. Next to them is written the name of the connector, and sometimes the channel number. Assigning connectors and their location through the channels is necessarily indicated in the manual of the motherboard. The total amount of memory is equal to the total volume of all installed modules. Each channel is served by its memory controller. The system performance increases by 5-10%.
Dual Mode. It can be implemented using two, three or four DIMM modules.
If two identical RAM memory module uses, they should be connected to the connectors of the same name (in one color) from different channels. For example, one module is installed in the connector 0 canal A., and the second - in the connector 0 canal B.:
That is, to turn on the mode Dual Channel. (Mode with alternation) The necessary conditions should be performed:
- on each channel of the memory is installed the same DIMM module configuration;
- Memory is inserted into symmetric channel connectors ( Slot 0 or Slot 1.) .
Similarly, three memory modules are installed - the total amounts of memory in each channel are among themselves (the memory in the channel A. equal to volume in the channel B.):
And for four modules, the same condition is performed. It works like two parallel dual modes:
Triple Chanell Mode.
(three-channel mode) - In each of the three DIMM channels, the same amount of RAM is installed. Modules are selected in speed and volume. On motherboards supporting three-channel memory mode, 6 memory connectors are usually installed (two for each channel). Sometimes there are motherboards with four connectors - two connectors constitute one channel, two others are connected to the second and third channel, respectively.
At six or three sluts, the installation is also simple as and when double-channel mode. When four memory connectors are installed, three of which can work in, memory should be set in these connectors.
(flexible mode) - Allows you to increase the performance of the RAM, when installing two modules of various volumes, but the same in frequency of work. As in dual-channel memory board mode, the connectors of different channels are installed in the same connectors. For example, if there are two memory strips of 512MB and 1GB, then one of them should be installed in the slot 0 canal A.and the second - in the slot 0 canal B.:
In this case, the 512MB module will work in a dual mode with a memory capacity of 512MB of the second module, and the remaining 512MB from 1 gigabyte module will operate in one-channel mode.
Here in principle, all recommendations on the combination of RAM. Of course, layout options can be more, it all depends on the volume of RAM, the model of the motherboard and on your financial capabilities. Motherboards with support appeared on sale four-channel mode Memory operations - this will give you the maximum performance of the computer!
It should be done in the housing in which the fixed motherboard and the processor is already located. About this:
In the photo above, we see that the installation of RAM has already been produced. We also see the installed motherboard and the power supply (indicated by the arrow).
In general, I must say that if you buy a computer for a computer, then, often it is supplied already included with the power supply and it is not necessary to install it. But in any case, the procedure for installing the power supply in the housing does not constitute anything difficult: put it in the place allotted for this (usually - in the upper part of the system unit)
and securely lock the four bolts on the back wall.
But we will not connect the power to you, but we will deal with the installation of RAM. The figure below we see how it is done correctly. It is necessary to deduct the plastic clamps on the parties on the connectors itself, carefully paste the module of RAM into the groove passing through the entire connector and smoothly but to press it hard on it perpendicular to the book until it clicks and its dense fit into the slot. At the same time, plastic clamps on the sides will stick themselves, if not, look attentively "village" whether the stamp of memory is as needed and click themselves.
The picture is at the same way about the "CPU_FAN" fan power connector.
Attention! You can damage the computer! Installing RAM - Case Responsible. Therefore, before installing it, it is very important to make sure that you install a memory module suitable in physical characteristics to it. For example, the DDR2 connector establishes only DDR2 standard memory, in DDR3 connectors - only MEMORY FORM FACTOR DDR3, etc.
If during the installation of RAM it was found that it does not have a sticker (special stickers), indicating the type of memory, you can navigate cleanly visually on the "key". The key is a special "cut" dividing in the lower part of its operational memory into several parts. Accordingly, each memory slot has a protrusion in the same place. The "key" serves as a kind of protection against attempting to establish RAM into a slot inappropriate for it on the physical characteristics.
Here are how two "key" looks like on the memory of the old "SD-RAM" standard:
If you do not want to open the computer, then to determine which type of RAM in it is installed, I recommend using the CPU-Z program. She will show what type of components is your PC. We disassemble this wonderful utility.
So, we establish all the memory microcircuits available at our disposal. On modern motherboards, they are often marked with different colors (two yellow slots, two - red). This is the mode of two-channel use of RAM, somewhat increasing its bandwidth.
To activate a two-channel (or - three-channel) RAM mode, we need to insert the bar pairwise: two of the same module are installed in the connectors of the same color, then two others - install in the connectors of another color. To obtain the maximum effect of the memory microcircuit must be really the same According to its working characteristics of frequency, timings, delays "CAS" and "RAS". Ideally, they must be purchased in a computer company at one point in time :)
Moreover, the color of the memory slots alternate, for example: yellow, red, yellow, red.
We lachers all the clamps, check that all memory modules "sat" in the connectors smoothly (memory chips should be on the same height line, unreasonable to the top of the edges and "hopping" latches).
This is so simple and the installation of RAM. As you can see, everything is simple :)
In a recent article, we disassembled a very burning topic, as correctly and with what programs for mistakes. But, if all, any errors in RAM are found and the time has come to change or increase the RAM. Consequently, in this article, I want to introduce you to the installation of RAM into a personal computer and teach you how to correctly replace the RAM in a personal computer.
To begin with, I will allow myself a small lyrical retreat, in order to introduce you to what kind of RAM and why it is needed in a personal computer.
As you probably know, a modern computer consists of several particularly important components - this is a processor, a video card, a motherboard, a hard disk, a power supply and an operational storage device, or as they speak the people's RAM or RAM. The above components are the main backbone, without which no personal computer and the RAM cannot exist at the moment, is one of the components of modern PCs. Why do I need rapid memory and why exactly the installation and replacement of RAM needs to be given so much attention?
It is in RAM that the necessary data is required that are necessary to solve the task as a user. That is, whether you work in a graphic editor, whether you play computer games or just watch the film, the speed of execution of those operations directly depends not even from the processor, namely from RAM. It is the RAM that contains all the data necessary for performing a specific task, which means largely determines the speed of your PC. Even if you have a very strong processor, but not enough RAM, the speed of the computer will leave much to be desired and the computer will constantly slow down, depend on not performing the tasks.
RAM is a kind of intermediary, between all other computer components. Why exactly an intermediary? And therefore. That all data for the operation of programs installed on your PC is stored on the hard drive - Winchester, and the programs themselves are performed in the processor. That is, in order for the program to start running, it is necessary to move data with Winchester to the processor. But since if all the data is moved by hard drives, it will take a lot of time. And therefore the operational memory comes into business. It helps read files from the hard drive and lightly send to the processor, and in turn performs the required operations. That is, there are those operations that are currently being performed in our RAM.
What did I spread such a tirade? And to the fact that in no case save on RAM, as this is the main element that ensures the speed of your PC and be sure to learn how to properly replace RAM.
Characteristics of RAM
Well, now, you probably have a question: and what kind of RAM to choose, with what characteristics. And I'll answer this question with joy. But everything is in order. To date, two types of DDR 2 and DDR RAM 3 types are widely used in modern personal computers. What type of RAM to choose? It all depends on what your computer is intended for. If you are going to work in heavy programs and play tricky computer games, boldly choose the type DDR 3 - as often this type of RAM varies in the area from 800 MHz to 1600.Well, if you buy a regular office computer, take DDR 2, The frequency of this type varies from 400 to 800 MHz.
To the question how much to take RAM I will answer you so. In modern computers (and even netbooks), the minimum amount of RAM is equal to 4 gigabytes, it provides high performance and normal working conditions. That is when you want to install operational memory b (When buying a computer) Take a minimum of 4 GB and all programs (if you correctly select the rest of the components) will fly in direct and figurative sense (and you will not need to replace the RAM). More similar to the location of the RAM, we will talk in the installation of RAM.
Location of RAM. Compatibility of RAM
RAM is always located on and is a small elongated rectangular plate, which is inserted into special departments (slots) on the motherboard. The number of slots starts from two units, and maybe four or more. In the standard form on each motherboard there are 4 slots in which the RAM is being installed. The figure shows four slots of RAM, in two of which are memory modules.
Typically, maternal manufacturers provide users with the ability to use several identical memory slots in order to avoid different errors in the PC. But, I warn you if you buy several RAM slots, they must have the same type (for example, DDR 3) and frequency. Since the operational memory slots of different types will not work together, and if two chips are different frequency, for example, one 800 MHz, and in the other 1600, the memory will work at a minimum frequency and you can lose in the performance and speed of your PC. In the screenshot, different survey slots differ in colors and divided into pairs, this is not a whim of the developers, but a very conscious step. Since many motherboards can work in two-channel mode of operation, in order to enable this mode, you need to insert one frequency modules into the memory slots of the same color, that is, the operational memory installation should be made according to the color of the slot, in an orange color Slots put the memory with a frequency of 800 MHz, and in purple with a frequency of 1600 MHz. Very often, such a "game with flowers" allows you to increase the overall productivity of RAM for as many as 30 percent, which significantly affects the total PC performance.
Well, finally, I suggest you learn to independently replace the RAM. Replacing RAM is very simple and does not require any special skills.
In order to replace the RAM, you need to turn off your computer from the network first, pull out the system unit if it is in your special desktop department and carefully open. Most often, system blocks are twisted by hand with special bolts that can be easily unscrewed. And it can happen and so that you need a screwdriver. Anyway, after that. As you opened the system unit before you will appear about such a picture, as in the screenshot:
RAM I noted in the picture. In order to extract the RAM module (for example, if you need a replacement of RAM) from the slot you need to slightly press up on the side holders, the dock will come out of the grooves and it will be possible to remove it.
If the situation is reverse and you need to install the RAM, for this gently insert the memory into the grooves (considering it type and frequency) and snatch the locks before clicking. Be sure to click, as it means that you put the RAM correctly.
In fact, set the operational memory is very simple. Try and you will definitely work.
If you have successfully picked up and bought the RAM module you need, let's correctly install it on our computer. All items inside the system unit do not require significant physical efforts for their appeal, so relax a little. Before work, it will not be superfluous with the management of the attached to your motherboard, it must necessarily have its own instructions for installing RAM.
- Note: If you have a laptop, then read the article -.
First of all, we remove static electricity from yourself, touch your hands to the unpainted parts of your systemmer.
All actions We produce on a computer off. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. Remove the side cover of the system unit and find slots on the motherboard for RAM. Usually there are from two to four. Each RAM slot has special latches at the edges on both sides, they need to be carefully squeezed to the sides.
Note: The design of some motherboards is arranged in such a way that install RAM You will interfere with the video card, then remove it.
Now look carefully on any slot for installing RAM, it has a special protrusion.
And now, get the RAM module and you will see a special slot or deepening on it.
So, they squeezed two latches of the RAM slot, carefully insert our RAM module into the slot.
If you bought the RAM module correctly, then when installing the module in the slot intended for it on the motherboard, this neckline should accurately get into the protrusion. If the cutout and protrusion does not match, then the RAM module is not designed to work on this motherboard.
The module should get into the guides without any distortion, now the most responsible moment, slightly and gently press the module from the top of two sides with thumbs, it should get up on my place, and the latches must decline themselves.
If the latches are not stuck, look carefully, to the end of whether the module has entered the slot, if until the end, then fix the latch. I think everything is clearly visible on the exercises.
Let's remind you if you have two RAM modules with the same volume and identical characteristics, and the motherboard supports the two-channel operational memory mode, insert the modules into the same colored slots.
We put the lid of the system block back, connect all cables and turn on the computer.
How to extract RAM
If you need to remove the RAM from the slot, then it is very easy to do it, slide the snaps and remove the RAM module.
I will not pour water about why you need an additional operational memory and what it gives, because if you have already wondered by an increase in RAM, then you probably know why she is.
The main parameters of the RAM for which it is necessary to buy additional RAM:
1. First of all, we need to learn the maximum amount of supported memory of our motherboard. To do this, you can go to the official website of the motherboard or on the site where there is a detailed review.
2. The next step is opening our system unit, namely the left side side by turning off the computer and turning off the power wire from the network.
3. On the motherboard, looking for the bar of our "old" RAM. As shown in the figure, flexing the mount in the opposite direction from the RAM's player itself and remove it.
In order for the compatibility of our new and old RAM has been at the height, it is necessary to maximize all parameters the same. To do this, carefully look at the next step.
4. Below, the figure shows the RAM on which there is a sticker with its main parameters:
Memory amount: 8GB
Clock frequency: 1333MHz
Manufacturer: Corsair XMS3
(It is recommended to buy a "twin" for complete compatibility, well, or at least you can neglect the manufacturer).
By choosing the RASTED memory you need to go to the direct installation:
5. Please note that the slots where to put additional RAM are signed on the motherboard (see the drawing below).
6. Install the first our bar in the DDR3_1 slot, and the second, respectively, in DDR3_2 as shown in the figure above.
7. We collect the system unit and supply power on it, then turn on the computer and wait for the full load. We go into the "My Computer" property, a small window of your PC parameters will appear at the bottom of which the RAM will be written - this is the total amount of your RAM.
Interesting facts and tips on the expansion of RAM:
1. Before buying a new RAM, check that it is accurately suitable for all parameters.
2. Know that not every operating system can maintain the volume of RAM more than 4GB
3. If you have the opportunity, then when buying a new RAM, make preference to the Iron Corps - this will increase the heat exchange and will prolong the service life.
4. If the purchase goes at once two planks, then buy them in a set of one box, let it be a bit and more expensive, but better and more reliable.
Now, as I promised I will present you a program for the test and obtain information about RAM:
Program name: Everest Ultimate Edition 5.30.1900 Final
This program is designed to collect information about the computer both all and the specific device. Also, it can carry out equipment tests in it, perform the optimal configuration settings and receive full and detailed reports. The program is conditionally free, that is, its test period is 30 days, but all its components are available for work.
General window program
The navigation menu is located on the left. We are primarily interested in the System Board section (it is the same maternal, since it is in it that our fee is connected). Next, we go to the subsection Memory and in the central window all information about the memory of our computer appears. We are also interested in physical memory, it is operational. In this section, we receive data on the total volume, how much is busy, freely and how much is loaded as a percentage.
If you go to the test section, then here for our physical memory it seems to be four test options:
Reading from memory;
Memory entry;
Copying into memory;
Memory delay.
Here you can see information for free and test tests. Good luck with installing a new, additional RAM board!
The type of RAM and its volume depends on which slots for these purposes are implemented within a given motherboard. Usually Located in close proximity to the socket. At the same time, the number of such connectors can be different - from two on simple "motherboards" to six or more on powerful specimens of motherboards.
Visually slots intended for the installation of RAM are a set of contacts that are complemented from edges with special latches focused on fixing RAM planes. In addition, there is an appropriate protrusion that provides the correct installation of RAM. Memory itself is a small board with chips placed on it, where contacts and a special neckline are also present, which, when installing memory, must be combined with a protrusion on the slot.
Types of slots for RAM
The slot type determines which memory is available for installation. Usually on motherboards you can detect slots for the following types of RAM:
- DDR4;
- DDR3;
- DDR2;
- SDRAM DIMM.
Along with this, the memory under consideration may be denoted by PC, PC2, PC3 and PC4, which is correlated with the list provided above.
Memory of different types with each other is incompatible, for example, you cannot install the DDR2 bar in the slot intended for DDR3.
Although some motherboards are equipped with slots for different types of memory. True, the simultaneous installation of the memory of different types in such "motherboards" is impossible, so you have to choose something one.
Characteristics of RAM
- Frequency of work (MHz).
- Bandwidth (MB / C).
The second parameter determines the performance of memory modules. For example, the designation DDR3-1600, tells us that this memory refers to the type DDR3, and its frequency of its operation is 1600 MHz. In this case, the bandwidth of this strip is determined by the parameter 12,800 MB / s. It is calculated by multiplying the frequency of work, in our case it is 1600 MHz, on the figure 8 (bits).
Multichannel RAM architecture
RAM is designed in such a way that the maximum memory capacity is ensured in cases where several operatives are installed on the PC. It is customary to allocate two modes of operation:
- Two-channel mode - the number of slots on the motherboard is multiple 2.
- Three-channel mode - the number of slots installed on the "motherboard" 3.
Memory mode can be determined depending on the number of slots under RAM. If the slots 2 or 4, then this is an exceptionally two-channel mode, and if they are 6, then the mode can be two-channel, and three-channel. This will depend on the processor and the number of installed memory planners.
Two 4 GB strips in most cases work faster than one on 8 GB is as an example.
Hello everyone ! In today's article, we will tell you how to choose the right memory. Those who decided to add RAM into the computer probably already already chosen the RAM. Nevertheless, we advise you to familiarize yourself with another publication from which you will learn.
By reference above, you will find out that the RAM is different and how many RAM can be delivered, and also that everything can be not so trivial in the RAM installation for laptops. In addition, this article is useful if you want to establish additional RAM.
How to set RAM into a regular computer
So, you have already bought and keep the desired module in your hands. Generation of this RAM module is suitable for your motherboard. Also, do not forget that the scope of the RAM should be such that the module or RAM modules can be supported by your motherboard.
In other words, before installing, make sure that your computer not only supports the existing volume of memory modules, but also this particular generation, since the RAM is different: DDR., DDR2., DDR3, Edo, Microdimm., SDRAM and Sodimm.. This is especially true when you need to deliver additional RAM. When installing or replacing RAM, some "experts" argue that the user may encounter the following problems:
- With electrostatic charges.
- Incorrect parameters in the BIOS.
- Incorrect installation of DIMM modules.
On this basis, you can meet stupid tips about adding RAM:
- To prevent the accumulation of electrostatic electricity when working with sensitive chips, you should not wear clothes from synthetics or shoes with leather soles (or stand on a rubber rug).
- Remove the accumulated electrostatic charge by holding the system unit.
- You can also use a special grounding bracelet on the wrist, which can be purchased at the electronics store.
You are just thinking about this nonsense! Foil hat do not wear? Know that these problems are sucked from the finger people far from reality. Of course, there are problems with the static and grounding of the computer case, but they rarely happen and to install RAM are practically no relationship.
True, it is worth noting here that if you want to install additional RAM, then the question of the incompatibility of the modules may be. But it is an indirect attitude to the installation process itself.
The main thing before installing to de-energize the computer and give it to stand for five minutes. Usually, the installation of the RAM of the correct form factor takes five minutes. To replace the memory RAM in standard PCs, it should be relying on the following tips:
- Turn off the PC and disconnect the network cable. Wait for a while until the balance disappears on the board.
- Open the system unit. Usually the lid is holding on two or less than four screws.
- Gently move the cables that can prevent free access to memory connectors. Before disconnecting the wire, remember where it was connected, but it is better not to disconnect anything - in most cases it is possible to install RAM unhindered.
- If you need to extract the module to put the RAST memory or frequency, then it is enough to make the side of the side locks that keep the module.
- Most modern motherboards support two-channel operational memory mode. His plus is that memory modules work, cooperating with each other. You need to determine which connectors you should use to work correctly in two-channel mode. Such connectors have different color (pairwise). That is, when installing two identical memory modules, they should be put in connectors of the same color.
Special keys are present on RIMM and DIMM strips, with which the correct orientation of the plank occurs in the appropriate connector. That is, any form factor or generation of memory has its own key to which you need to install the RAM bar. Before inserting the module you need to make sure that plastic latches located on the sides are divorced to the sides:
After installing RAM into the motherboard slot, it is enough to gently press the module and the latches themselves will be in place.
If the interfering wires are disabled before installation - return them to place and close the system unit cover by connecting the power cord. After installing additional RAM, you may need to start the BIOS setup application to save new parameters, but usually the computer understands everything itself and simply starts the regular load of the operating system. The overwhelming majority of modern systems in automatic mode determine the new memory size and make the necessary changes to the BIOS.
How to add RAM in the laptop
So we got to laptops. Installing RAM in the laptop is almost a lottery, because you first need to find out whether the installation is possible in a specific laptop model. At the beginning of the article, we have already given a reference to the publication ,. Therefore, they will not sharpen attention on this.
The first thing to find out before adding the RAM into the laptop is whether the laptop has an additional slot, whether it is busy. This does not concern that case when you want to replace the RAM. Laptops are all different, so the additional memory slot may be absent or located in a difficult place. For example, in this:
Or such:
Therefore, for many models, adding RAM into a laptop can be a problem. But more often, it is enough just to unscrew the lid on the bottom of the laptop:
Remove the memory module by freeing from special fasteners, if necessary, replace:
And install a new Sodimm RAM into place:
After adding RAM, you can use a special diagnostic utility and make sure that the memory functions correctly, but it is better to simply go to the properties of the system and look at the amount of RAM used. We hope our article turned out to be useful and you managed to correctly put the RAM. Read!

Hello!
I have such a problem: a month ago I began to "bug" the computer-turning on 5 seconds works and turns off after it turns on it (the screen does not burn the Tobish staff no)
I was told to the repair center that I flew the memory module (burned), I had 2 memory modules and both 1GB class-DIMM DDR2 and both on Hynix chips, one memory module remained (everything worked, but only with 1GB brakes. XD. After I bought a memory module on 4GB class-DIMM DDR3, too, on a chip from Hynix.
The problem is that how I wrote above, my problem with turning on and off was repeated with a new memory module. Removing a new memory module remains DDR2. Everything works as it was before.
What is the problem?Kudesnik.

Jedny acquired a laptop asus K750J, a rather powerful car, but when I try to play computer games, I am thrown out a mistake, and writes that there is not enough RAM to work. This is extremely strange, since as on my last laptop there was the same number of RAM (6GB) and the problems did not arise. Maybe games simply do not see my rapid memory? I would like to know how to solve this problem. And one more question, if the ability to transfer RAM with an old laptop (HP Pavilion DV6) to the new (ASUS K750J)?

And this question I have 4 slots for RAM in 2 and 3 slot costs 2 straps on 256 DDR I want to add more 2 to 512, too, DDR But when started, the safe mode is asked or we usually tried both options after the choice does not ship what to do.
FDS_256BIT.
High. I bought myself 4GB RAM, the frequency of 1600 MHz. In M.Plat, also 4GB 1600 MHz. Including the computer, checking verification, I see, it is written that I have installed 8GB, free 3,47 GB. Kak so? I went to Aida64, it's written there What is a physical memory free 3,47 GB, and a virtual 6200 MB. Why is it possible? After all, I have 8GB RAM. Please help.

Hello, I do not really understand the computers and I have such a problem. I decided to add RAM (costs 512), bought the bar identical to the one that stands in the computer. At first I decided to replace it at all, took out the old one, put a new one, turned on the computer (immediately after installation) the black screen and the scoop came up when the computer was turned on.
I decided to put with the old bar, just turned on immediately after installation the screen earned, but then the "Welcome" the download of the computer did not go.
After all this again put the old bar everything works, but the computer began to slow down terribly. What do you advise?tima010.

Hello, on a laptop was 4 GB of RAM, installed another 4. In general, 8, the system and the task dispatcher sees all 8, but when I play only 4 GB, although the FPS is small. The remaining 4 gigs remain empty. Windows 7 Home basic 64-bit. What is the problem?
Nikolai
Good day! Tell me, please, I have 4 slots for the RAM, on the first and third slot on the gig, the seven system, the system of 2006, does it make sense to add two more RAM on 512 to the second and fourth slots? It will not conflict the computer, and will be seen? Is it this extra gig? In general, how to distribute the RAM (Copper DDR2)?

i wanted to change RAM, bought new same as old (DDR2), but after changing RAM, an infinite signal sounds, everything inserted it right, but it doesn't work and noticed one thing: the old RAMs were two when they removed one too, it works Only with two straps, help, if you know!

Hello. I have 2 GB of DDR3 RAM. In total, I have two slots of RAM and I decided to put another DDR3 bar3 on 4 GB. If this plank stands with the old 2 GB bar, then the computer sees only 2 GB. If you remove 2GB bar and leave the bar on 4GB, then the computer is simply not turned on, does not even pick up, although all the coolers are spinning. The AIDA64 program shows that I have both of these planks in the computer and that they both work !! I do not know what's the problem. Mat board ASUS P5G41T-M LX3. BIOS updated.

Lenovo Z565 laptop There are two planks for 2 GB relatives, if there are two planks, the screen does not fume, but when I remove the second bar everything works, I tried to change it easily
Can there be a problem in the nest or this software
BIOS DISABLED CAN BATTERY DISABLED AND DO NOT TURNoleg
i can not find a solution to the problem: at work 4 GB operatives, I also stood 4 GB by parameters. They are one to one, I will load two cops at once on the BIOS saved 40-45 seconds, then everything is according to plan, it's worth to pull one of Planks (leave 4 GB) everything falls into its places (BIOS screensaver is 3-5 seconds) Who suggests?

Hello, in my laptop 4 connector under the RAM, it was originally stood in two lower connectors for 4 and 2 GB of planks, I decided to add more 2. In general, all the operating slats, the problem is that if in any top connector to stick The laptop will turn on, but the black screen and everything. If only in the bottom stick, then all the rules.

Hello, faced with such a problem, there was two stripes operatives, one on 1GGB second to 2 GB, both slots of the same color, frequency of 1333 MHz, my processor and maternal support those who bought. The problem is that when installing in two slots of new RAM, the keyboard stops working and writes on the screen to enter the BIOS and changed the parameters, if I install only one bar operatives, the keyboard works, I go to the BIOS I put everything on the car, apply the parameters and gives Two selections or run Windows or with some cleaning (recommended) (I don't remember exactly) In general, when you select the recommended selection of a blue screen with an error (driver error), if the standard download then the reboot will be constantly and again two selection of download options . The processor and motherboard up to 16GB operatives support, I add only 8 ... both planks are the same 1333 MHz.

Help me please. The computer reboots in itself. It turns off and immediately turns on the cham. Help to the service center. We drove through the tests and said everything is fine. Connected via UPS. Changed a new accomulator. The problem did not disappear. I bought an additionally stabilizer. The stabilizer is very loudly felt periodically and shows an increased voltage. Although the electricians said that everything is normal. Through the stabilizer, the computer reboots even more often. For half a year I can not solve this problem. Thank you.

Hello! The second day I am trying to solve the problem with the new RAM. I have already rummaged a bunch of similar topics on the forums, but I do not find solutions to my problem. Let me explain more:
I have an Asus M4A785T-M motherboard, which, according to the manufacturer's description, supports 4 x DIMM memory, up to 16 GB, DDR3 1800 (O.C.) / 1600 (O.C.) / 1333/1066 ECC, Non-ECC, un-buffered.
Operating system - Win 7, x64
Now I have 2 strips DDR3 2 GB 667 MHz (PC3-10700H).
I bought 4 staks DDR3: 4 GB 2RX4 PC3-12800H 1600 MHz one manufacturer.
And problems began:
1. When you try to install them, the computer did not include (the coolers were noisy, the sounds did not publish, the screen is black) even after a heap of manipulations with permutations of different boards into different connectors. I updated the BIOS, the computer saw 2 new RAMs (the BIOS version itself did not change for some reason).
2. Now the computer turns on with two any new lights. With four - not a furyer, three - did not put. By changing the RAM couple, he checked them on the performance of the Windows service, the errors were not found until the end of the check, but after the reboot, the report for some reason is not highlighted.
3. Next, I tried to play at least two new boards. I launch the tanks, I enter into battle and almost immediately flies out a blue screen with an error Memory_management 0x0000001a. I changed RAM in places, put the other two - the same result: crashes, only the time of the game varies with one - after 3 seconds, with others - after 20 seconds. While I stand in the hangar everything works, and it starts to fly only when loading the battle itself, i.e. When Vidyuha is connected to business.
4. Put the old one - everything works fine.
Return the new RAM back to the store is not an option. That can not 4 planks be defective?
Tell me, please, what is the case? What else can be taken for normal operation?Savva
Hello, why after installing additional RAM and blowing a computer from dust, the computer starts before the "Energy" inscription and nothing else happens?

Please tell me. There are two strips of 1 GB, I want to add another 2 GB, the system supports, there are two free slots. What is better: one on 2 GB, or two to 1GB? Thank you.
Leone
I have 4 places 2 for DDR2 and 2 for DDR3. It is installed only 1 DDR3 (2GB) Can I add another DDR3 on 2 GB? Or better to buy one DDR3 on 4GB, there is no difference!
Shurik
Please tell me. Installed on a laptop an additional 4GB RAM: DDR3, 1600MHz, 12800, in general, the same thing on the pre-installed RAM. As a result, 8GB. CPUZ - everything sees - both fees. And I enter the game and it goes with brakes. Previously walked on the best settings and less slowed down. What could be, besides what could be the defective fee? Thank you!

Hello everyone! I have such a problem.
I have 2 slots for RAM slots on Mamka and there are two planks of 2GB. And somehow I put one bar on 2GB to another PC. When you turn on that PC, it began to squeak, I turned it off and pulled out my bar. Then he arrived home, insert the bar back, turn on the network, turn on my PC itself, it starts, but then it does not turn on the monitor screen. That is, the PC is noise, but does not turn on what just did not do, as the bar pull out, it starts on 2GB. As I put back the native second bar, again silence on the screen. Even in neither BIOS and no where to go. Please tell me it's already the player Kirdyk? Or how can I reanimate it? There is no second PC where it would be possible to check. Unfortunately.Yulia
Hello. This question is: in the ASUS X73S laptop, the second slot was installed the second RAM on 4GB. After that, the place on the hard disk from the beginning is strange to change: after restarting or on / off, it shows different values \u200b\u200b- then 1,5GB is free, then immediately 7GB. On the viruses, the laptop was checked, unnecessary files, including temporary - deleted. Tell me, please, what could be the reason. Thank you.

Hello.
After connecting the 2 boards of the OP in the laptop, the laptop stopped turned on. When inserted back the old DDR problem did not disappear. When the memory was changed (the battery was not pulled out), maybe because of this, burn the motherboard?Yuri.
Hello. Me Maternally P5G41T-M LX, I bought a DDD3 Kingston KVR13N9S6 / 2. Installed, the computer turns on a black screen and everything. Say maybe this DDR does not fit.

The result of connectors and old planks work, just on this motherboard, the new DDR3 models does not see, I checked 2 planks different 4GB and this 2GB Kingston and all 3 new new people.
Let's look at the options how to increase the computer's operational memory in various ways.
4 ways to increase PC RAM
Consider all ways to increase RAM. Surely one of them will be useful to you.
Add an optional RAM bar
The most convenient and easy way is to purchase an additional RAM module. If you chose this particular option, deciding not to bother with others, be prepared for the installation of the module you will have to "climb" into the system unit. But before this it is necessary to take into account several important criteria.
When buying must be paid attention to:
How to install an additional bar RAM to computer
So, if an additional operationing module is purchased, you can start it. For this:
- Open the "Start" menu, click "Computer" and with the right mouse button open "Properties". Here all information about the computer will be displayed, including how much memory has it. If the volume increased, it means that we did everything correctly, if not, most likely, the module is simply not fixed. In this case, you need to again disconnect the external devices from the system unit, open it and check the module.
- Open the Start menu, select "Task Manager" and go to the "Speed" section. The memory should also be displayed here. If it has become more, it means everything is done correctly.
If you still failed to independently increase the operational memory of your PC using an additional module, you should first make sure that the module itself is correct and then contact the specialist for help in the installation.
The new module is quite expensive pleasure, especially for some PC models, so you should not hurry to buy it. Perhaps the problem will be solved by free ways.
Add Retail Memory Using Flashki
This method is used from recently, but it has already become one of the most effective and simple. Add memory so it became possible thanks to the introduction of ReadyBoost into operating systems. It is designed to connect a flash drive to the PC and use its memory to work. But in order for everything to succeed, you need a flash drive, which has the following characteristics:
- volume between 1 and 32 GB;
- the speed is not lower than 2, 5 MB / s.
Using the ReadyBoost technology, you can connect multiple additional memory devices to the computer, but the flash drive must be greater than the volume of the PC RAM.
To add more memory on your computer using a USB flash drive:
- Connect it to the computer and go to the menu.
- Click on the connected device and click "Properties".
- We find an item called "ReadyBoost" and click "provide this device for ReadyBoost technology."
- We set the required volume and click "OK".
Now the memory becomes more, and you can immediately use it.
Increase memory via windows paging file
If you work, the computer uses the so-called virtual memory consisting of RAM (RAM) and paging file. Windows uses this file to store the information necessary for the operation, similar to both RAM. This method of working with files is of course slower than downloading to RAM, but when the latter lacks, it will help unload it. The volume of such a file is determined automatically by the operating system, but if desired, it can be enlarged. This operation on Windows 7 looks like this:
- Open the "Start" menu.
- We click "Computer" and choose "Properties".
- A page with information about the computer opens. Here in the menu on the left side will be the "Advanced System Parameters" section. Open it.
- In the window that appears, we click the "Advanced" button first, and then "Parameters" in the "Speed" section.
- A new window appears, where they choose "additionally" again, and then "Change" in the "Virtual Memory" section.
- Remove the tick opposite "automatically select the volume of the paging file" and select the disk.
- We put a tick opposite "specify the size" and write size more than it was indicated.
- Click "OK"
Now the memory will be as much as you specified.
Memory increase operation using the paging file on Windows 8 and 10 almost identical to Windows 7, but here you need to enter the "speed parameters" computers in the search bar, then click "Advanced". Then everything is done in the same way as on the "seven".
Using BIOS to increase PC memory
This method is not complicated, but you should not resort to it if you are not sure about your abilities.
So, so that the memory on the computer has become more:
- Go to the BIOS. On different models, this is done in different ways. Most often used F2 or Delete buttons. If they are not suitable, try finding information on the network, which button is designed to enter the BIOS for your PC.
- Find the item Video Ram or Shared Memory and Click.
- Now you need to reduce the number of cycles in the RAM. To do this, find the DRAM READ TIMING item. Keep in mind that the decline in cycles to a minimum will affect the work of the PC in the best way, so try to choose the optimal bar.
- Save the settings by pressing F10 and leave the BIOS.
If everything is done correctly, PC memory will increase.
Thus, it is possible to increase the operational memory of the PC independently, with several paid and free methods. Choose the most suitable and forget about the shortage of memory for a long time.
"How to install (add) RAM to computer"
Sooner or later, the moment comes when RAM becomes little. Needs grow and memory remains on the spot, the game does not start, the system slows down, then some program there is no place unfolded in full.
Not trouble, RAM can be added in the computer. Now we will analyze how to add RAM.
First of all, you need to make sure that there are free slots for memory.
To do this, remove the cover of the housing and look.
The photo shows that everything is 4 slots under memory, of which one is busy. Excellent places still shaft.
The next thing to determine is the type of memory already installed.
In total for desktop computers there are 3 main types of RAM. List: DDR, DDR2, DDR3. In turn, these types of memory are divided in speeds.
So, look at what exactly you have a memory. This should be written on the most memory line. In my case, it is HYNIX PC2-6400 2GB, i.e. Simple language 2GB DDR2-800.
From this it follows that I can add only this type of memory (DDR2-800), but the volume may be different, as a rule 1, 2 or 4GB. The added volume directly depends on the characteristics of the motherboard. This can be viewed in the documentation for it. In any case, so that it is possible to miss you can safely add the same ruler, which is already worth (if you have no more than 4GB volume).
The main thing must match the type of memory and the frequency, but the firm may be another (although preferably the same).
In order to set a new range of RAM, it is necessary to disable the system unit from the network, push the latch on memory slots to the side and turning the memory correctly to insert until it stops into the connector. Latches must close.
I repeat once again: see the incision on the memory line coincided with the protrusion on the motherboard slot.
This is all, and the process itself is not complicated, but the main preparation and knowledge.
And what to do if there is no free space for RAM?
Then it is necessary, again, look at what memory is installed and how much it is. For example, there are two 512MB connector, i.e. Together 1GB. In this case, it will be advisable to put 2 slats on 1GB or one on 2GB instead. Do not forget that it is desirable to know which maximum permissible volume per connector.
