Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello guys. I am having serious problems with my desktop. The DIMMS slots can't detect the ram. I bought the machine with 1GB ram and upgraded it to 4GB Kingston 1333 1Rx8 card. It was all well till I acquired a 4GB Samsung 1333 2Rx16 card(they both worked fine for a month). Then the problem started, all slots were not detecting both sticks. Sometimes it would read only the Samsung stick on one slot only but it would give up after a few days. The PC gives off 5 beeps 5 times, NO red light or blinking light. It continues running the fans as it usually does.

@pmudzengi,

Purchasing varied brands of RAM is problematic.

Were any of these modules certified to work with your machine?
