    Have Had Problems with Memory Need Advice
    « on: August 25, 2016, 04:43:20 AM »
    Hi, So I have a ASRock G41m-VS3 R2.0 Motherboard and the computer guy who installed it for me had problems finding me memory that matched (in Brazil).

    Right now I only have 2gb of Smart (Brazilian Brand)
     2gb 2rx8 PC3-10600u -09-10-B0   776h

    I went on this site called crucial that does a memory compatibility test and was wondering if I could get any of those memories from there and would work with the memory I currently have. http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/scanview/A185813A31D926C3 or any of these http://www.gearbest.com/4gb-ddr3%5E%5E1600-udimm-_gear/

    Iīm asking thise because I donīt know if they are retarded here in Brazil but the guy couldnīt find anything he had compatible with my memory and motherboard when I went in to upgrade it. Also last note my memory is 2 sided if that helps.

    Thanks any help is appreciated I really need more RAM.

    That board just takes standard DDR3 memory, currently the most common type you'll find!  I'd be a bit concerned about the guy's abilities if he can't find it!  I'm not familiar with the market in Brazil but I'd be extremely surprised if DDR3 memory was hard to find!  The RAM you have linked looks compatible to me - Just make sure when you are buying RAM that you don't accidentally buy anything that mentions being "ECC" or "Registered" as that is designed for servers and may not work in your system.

      Thanks man I appreciate it, but yea he was giving me standard ddr3 memory and it wouldnīt start on my computer he said something about mine having 2 sides like the one I have now in here now, but for the most part he sent me standard ddr3 memory and it wouldnīt start by itself or with the memory I had. Then he said for my computer they donīt have this kind of memory where he works anymore.

      The MBoard Manual will have a QVL list for RAM...QVL = RAM thats been lab tested in that MBoard and approved...

        On the Manual it says this http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/G41M-VS3%20R2.0.pdf page 18 I donīt get what it means.

          It doesnīt have that.. On pg 18 it gives all the details on how you can install memory and memory requirements.

          I just want to know if I can buy new memory and install it since it says if I have both memory slots occupied I have to have the same brand of memory with the same specs, because the last time I tried to just upgrade ddr3 memory the computer guy gave it didnīt work. Even when i took the other memory out and put this one in it didnīt work.

          BTW that Mboard has a long history of memory issues...i would still however suggest picking something off that list...
