I just bought 4 more gigs of ram from another brand (had about 1100 reviews average 5 eggs) and it had the same timings and latency, and MHz as my old ones, but different voltage old: 1.8 (rated) new: 1.5 (rated). When i put it into my system. I got no video output and the fans kept pulsing o.0. I took out the new ones and it works fine again. Also the new ones say 2N on it, but i can't find that anywhere else on the old ones. Does it matter if they are different there? Please help

@MageDb0w since this was posted a month ago I'm guessing you have tried for example turning computer on with just one in at a time, could be problem with either ram
