Get your motherboard manual and find out if it accepts that memory spec i.e. size,speed and frequency 2/. There will be a bit in the manual that tells you what is accepted in each memory slot, make sure you know the slot numbers from the diagram 3/. It will tell you what the settings should be in the bios, hopefully auto is selected. 4/. It may be that your previous memory was configured dual channel and these sticks won't work dual channel, especially for two pairs Now this is a fairly complicated subject and some level of expertise is needed but not beyond anyone who treads carefully, for now only use two MATCHING sticks of memory in the slots recommended in the manual, come back after you've done this, take two sticks out. Memory gives numerous random problems and others will nod their heads when I say this, it is possible that two motherboards the same one will accept, one will reject I've had it happen a couple of times. 4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2133(O.C.)/1866*/1600/1333/1066 MHz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory Dual Channel Memory Architecture ** Refer to www.asus.com for the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists). * Due to OS limitation, when installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows® 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Install a 64-bit Windows® OS when you want to install 4GB or more memory on the motherboard. * Due to CPU spec., AMD 100 series CPUs support up to DDR3 1066MHz. With ASUS design, this motherboard can support up to DDR3 1333MHz. LightHammer02 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are having the issue and your son isnt playing the same games, its not the internet connection. You need to check your ethernet port on your PC if you are wired. If you are playing on wireless, well thats likely the issue. You also may want to check out the vid card. If you have a spare ethernet card i would install it and try playing from that connection, same goes for the vid card if you have a working spare.

Just be careful to do it someplace where you wont lose screws. No overheating... I run MSI Afterburner and turn the fan speed up to 100% and I run cool. Processor is liquid cooled, so no overheating there. I blow the dust out of my computer every other week to keep it clean... So no dust in the machine at all. The RAM was recently changed to some used RAM... so I have a feeling that it's the culprit... I just got 2 new jobs (THANK GOD!!) But it will be a LONG while before I can afford RAM...

Let me know as after this it gets a little trickier IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN EARTHING STRAP ALWAYS EARTH YOURSELF BEFORE TOUCHING RAM, i.e. a house radiator or metal pipe to ground Edited January 15, 2017 by RobMc LightHammer02 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With ASUS design, this motherboard can support up to DDR3 1333MHz" There is some more about visiting ASUS website and such and something about Windows 32 bit, but I'm running a 64 bit version...
