#

imma get a USB stick tmrw

spring silo Dec 31, 2022, 1:58 AM

#

i’m guessing it’s because of the bios

wind hound Dec 31, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

But why does it work with 1 ram stick then it doesnt rlly make sense to me but ill try i dont know much bout pcs so ill just try

spring silo Dec 31, 2022, 2:00 AM

#

wind hound Dec 31, 2022, 2:01 AM

#

spring silo Dec 31, 2022, 3:01 AM

#

alr

#

did the usb stick work?

wind hound Dec 31, 2022, 4:04 AM

#

spring silo did the usb stick work?

I couldnt fragement it ill buy a normal one tmrw like i said

spring silo Dec 31, 2022, 4:20 AM

#

ah i see

#

alrigh

wind hound Dec 31, 2022, 5:16 AM

#

spring silo ah i see

Alr it worked

#

I found another one

#

and it seems like i can only use 2 with 3200mhz if i use more my pc turns on off on off on and then off so my psu is to weak but hey 16gb is way better thjan 8gb

spring silo Dec 31, 2022, 5:22 AM

#

can you run games with 2 sticks?

wind hound Dec 31, 2022, 5:22 AM

#

Yes

#

Finally

#

in most of the games i now get 20+ fps cuz 8gigs are just not it

spring silo Dec 31, 2022, 5:24 AM

#

weird, if you can run games then your psu isn’t the issue

#

i would still try a bios update

wind hound Dec 31, 2022, 5:24 AM

#

Noo

#

i can run games with 2 sticks

#

if i try to use 3 or 4

#

my pc doesnt work

spring silo Dec 31, 2022, 5:24 AM

#

yeah so if you can run games then your psu is fine

#

adding another stick of ram won’t add enough energy to have your system turn off at startup

wind hound Dec 31, 2022, 5:25 AM

#

Okay weird but mayb its cuz my ssd lately has been having problems starting

#

it sometimes wasnt recognized by my Bios

#

then i had to restart

#

pc

spring silo Dec 31, 2022, 5:26 AM

#

you still need a bios update either way

#

so do it lol

wind hound Dec 31, 2022, 5:26 AM

#

but a usb stick is 10€ and i only got 15 atm

#

lol

#

if i can use 16gb its totally fine for me for now

#

#

but i wont buy a usb stick for Just that if im fine with 16gb
