I actually have built my own computer a couple of times in the past, but at the moment my time is at a premium, though I could do it as time permits.Haystack wrote:It looks like that motherboard supports up to 32GB of DDR3 ram. Like Josh said, try to use like ram as far as brand, size, and speeds.gcdonner wrote:My mother board is a Foxconn 2AB1 (CPU 1)
After dropping to the 16GB I have developed a new problem...for some reason the display adapter seizes up about every10 minutes and causes everything to seize.
I have just now added back one of the 4GB sticks, though the computer only sees 2GB in the Speccy program although the computer itself is still only seeing the 16GB. I will see what happens with my monitors now. I have made sure that all the drivers are up to date as well.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Any preferences on a new computer? I want a minimum of 16GB of RAM, but have seen some online with 32GB and would love to jump up there. I do lots of video editing and that would certainly help with the rendering process.
If you're interested in a new computer, have you ever thought about building your own? It sounds like you have some knowledge of computers and would be capable of building one. There's plenty of us on the forum that can help you along the way if you were to run into any problems.
I just eliminated the 16GB sticks and dropped back down to the two 4GB sticks, but the computer only is seeing 4GB, not the 8 installed, though at present it is running quicker than it has for some time and my download/upload speeds are the same as with the 16GB. I am going to try running my video program next to see how it does.
Just a little history on this computer. I got it out of the dump...pc, flat screen monitor, keyboard & mouse. It originally had 6GB of RAM and I have upgraded it twice, in pairs.
I may try buying 4 sticks of 8, the same brand and see if that works, otherwise it will be a new computer in the works, one way or the other.
What would you think about this one:
