Veriton X490G BSOD after RAM upgrade

Hi!

So after installing the new 4GB stick of ram, windows kept on restarting every time I boot it. I've tried booting into safe mode and launching start-up repair but it always ending up in BSOD. Please note that I'm only booting with the new ram.

 

When I put back my 2gb ram everything starts normally and there was no problem. So i'm thinking my culprit is the new 4gb. Here is the specs of the new ram: Kingston 4GB PC3-12800 CL11 240Pin DIMM, Part number: KVR16N11S8/4

 

I wanted to try changing the memory settings in BIOS but there was none. I'm only seeing the basic options in bios and there was no option to set the memory timings, etc. etc.

I'm wondering why there was no settings for it because in my other motherboard there are options to change the timings of the memory.

 

I'm also thinking of updating the bios of the motherboard but I can't find any for this acer motherboard. I hope someone could lead me where I can download the latest bios updates.

 

 

Thanks.

    Are you using DDR3L memory, or DDR3 without the L? You have to be using the low power memory for it to work, but it should support up to 4GB per slot with the DDR3L 1600MHz.
