+1. Be sure to test the sticks individually if it fails the first time.

^+2. Don't forget to put it in the same slot as well. Not the ones they were in when you were testing them at the same time.

And if possible test on at least 2 different motherboards

Will have to try memtest on a basic rig I put together. Whenever I put 2 sticks of RAM on it, it will post but Windows will not boot up. When I put 1 stick (doesn't matter which one), Windows will boot up properly.

Tried all 4 RAM slots and the issue wasn't solved.
