What happens if you run only the 2 Kingston sticks?

This tutorial will show you how to test all of your sticks, together and then individually, to determine if any are bad. It will also show you how to eliminate slots as the cause of the problem. RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Keep in mind Kingston has the best tech support in the business and will replace any stick that they help you test which proves bad, even if you didn't buy it from them. I always get a problem solved when I involve them.

The thing that I can't figure out is, before removing and changing them into different slots everything were smooth. But right after changing them into different slots, you can feel and tell the difference, it lags more and slows down.

I mean I can't see how this could possibly occurred? Why would it be slowing down and lag? That what I wana know? Nothing else is bad, everything is the same except system lags and slowing down.

By the way, I already done the Memtests, no errors found.

What might be other causes?

Why not try with just a single memorystrip?
You may select who causes de delay.

The best thing to do is tot run a memorytest from DOS.
There are even from Aida or Everest small routines which you can load from a CD.
This eliminates Windows doubts.

Why would there be any causes of delays if we only took them out and replace them into different slots??

Does yours work like that? have you actually try to replace yours into different slots and see if theres any difference it makes?

If yours doesn't happen to lag or slows down, then I think mine has got a problem. I can only guess but again I could be wrong. Correct me if I am wrong!!

Did you confirm they are running in dual channel ?

Well, when the pc starts it says dual channel, but I've only used three slots and left one empty, cuz I've only got 6GB (2GB,2GB,2GB) in total. if I got 8GB I will have them all in four slots.

Hope this answered your question.

When I make hardware changes I always go into BIOS and check settings.
Sometimes a BIOS setting gets changed and needs to be reset.
Home-build/Custom-build PCs usually have more BIOS settings options than "OEM Pre-build" PCs.

Well I'm not shure but some PC's only accept mem. running in pairs.
On the mem card is the ID of the type of Mem.

I cam across Pc's who slows down with more memory running in half speed mode.

AddRAM said:

No it doesn`t, did you open CPU-Z and see ?

Yes I did, and what am I supposed to do then after viewing CPU-Z??

I am still wondering why would changing slots making the system lags and slowing down?
I am thinking might be something wrong with the regedit!! Not sure.

That just totally weird. If it doesn't happen to yours that shouldn't happen to anyone elses or else it might.

Would re-install the whole entire OS help this do you think? or restore to an earlier point?

So what after all, do I consider restore to an earlier point or reinstalling the whole OS again??

This problem doesn't seem to go away or any further, and now makes me wonder if the HDD is playing the tricks rather than memories. But I still strongly assume its the memory not the HDD.

I am doing defragment now see if this works.

Any other ideas might help to get through this matter? So far the system still lags and slowing as it is!!

I do go into the BIOS checked all the settings right after I replace the memories, I do just like you did there always good to check before carry on etc.

Does yours happen like that lags and slowing down, if you change your memories into different slots or swap them around from one and another?

The problem still remains!! Even I replace them back into their original place, it still lags and slows down the system.
