kingston RAM - same part # / different timings?
i bought a x2 kit of Kingston HyperX RED 8gb (2x 4gb) kingston DDR3 1600 for my older windows 7 machine
and im having huge problems trying to get them to work, they are visually identical and have the same part number but the timings shown in cpu-z are different
one set was made in week 41 of 2012 the other seems to have been made in week 51 of 2013
they have the saem exact individual part number KHX1600C9D3/4GX
can anyone offer me any tips on why the 2nd ram set seems to crash my computer???
im getting blue screens like mad on the 2nd (new) set from 2013
***ram images are from ebay and not of my exact ram pieces but the label designs match ie: my old ram label is purple, the new one is the same greenish color visually different
obviously my motherboard doesnt want to work with the newer set from 2013, im not sure exactly why, anytime i have them installed the system will boot + pass memory tests, but is unstable + will blue screen; is there anything i can do other than just forget using them with this motherboard?
i will be trying to test the ram in another motherboard, i have a GIGABYTE GA-P43T-ES3G i can try to test the ram in next
