I need help installing ram! I m not sure in what order it is suppose To be done?
I have 2 sticks of 4 gb ram each (for a total of 8gb) as well as 1 stick of 8gb ram. So between these three sticks of ram I have 16gb. I tested each individually so I know that all of them work but when I put all of them in my computer doesn t recognize some of the sticks. My motherboard supports 4 sticks. In what order do I install the ram? Thanks for any input!

There is a very simple answer to you question. The RAM installation information for your computer is located in the book/pamphlet that came with the motherboard!!! It's really that simple and specific. MoBo's are different in what they allow for RAM installations, so what works on one may not work on the other. Read the MoBo info!!! ALSO FYI: There are no programs out here that even use 8GB of RAM so just install 8GB and keep the other just in case you have a RAM failure down the road. Good luck...

What is the make and exact model number and revision of the motherboard?
There have been some comments about requiring pairs of RAM in motherboards supporting dual-channel RAM, but they are mistaken. All such boards for general consumption will default to single-channel operation.

Go to http://www.crucial.com/ and have it scan your computer. It will tell you a number of things including what RAM your computer uses, the max RAM for your computer, and how much RAM is in each slot.
Your computer may install RAM modules in pairs and not single modules.
