« Last post by BLu3HaZe on Today at 08:42:33 pm »Thanks for respondingAh, I just had a similar experience a month or two back, one stick failed all of a sudden in my second PC on a matched Kingston set I had for the past 8 years brand new from day 1. Tried only that stick, wouldn't boot to BIOS even, same with both sticks in but with this one removed, worked fine though single channel and half the capacity.and sorry for the delay.
You're right it is going to be pretty hard, just giving it a try. Thanks for the info
That's what, i don't know why, it just died one day :/ PC froze while using, hit reset. It just started beeping. Tried testing individual RAM sticks and...
Had lifetime warranty so contacted the retailer, they're like even if they gave lifetime warranty back then, now it's only 3 years as the importer has changed so asked me to contact the company directly, which I just didn't bother with and took the stick out, putting a mark as dead on the sticker.
When the board on my main rig started acting up a few weeks back, I just put only that stick in even though I'd marked it as dead since the PC was open, and suddenly it worked right away. Checked for memory errors, no issues at all. Put it back in the original PC it came from, and now suddenly it works again and running correctly
Think it could be corrosion on the fingers or slots from sitting in the same place for years. It's a dusty country and we're not great at regularly cleaning out the PCs as well, so cleaning out with isopropyl and leaving out to completely dry really works wonders at times.
