I’m in my ddr2 pc and I have 4 sticks of ram 2x1gb kit and 2x2gb kit
Running just the 2x1 kit runs fine
Running 4 sticks causes the photo
I obviously want 200% more ram so can I make it work

#

Here is the additional kit

#

Here is pc with only the 2x1gb kit

#

Here’s pc with both kits

Have you checked the sticks are ok?

#

As they will be old second hand they may be just dead

#

Try running it on each individual stick

#

As it’s so low amounts though I’m not sure if your windows will boot

#

Also have you checked your CPU has enough memory channels?

I originally booted with 4 sticks and it worked

#

Then it crashed and this happened

that may look like gpu death potentially

eternal bear
#

No gpu

#

Unless integrated

#

integrated can still die

#

True

#

The 8mb vram is trying its best

#

I reinstalled windows (7) and it runs fine

#

issue fixed?

Just without the 2 extra sticks

#

So I have 2gb mem instead of 6gb mem
