I don't know much about modern RAM, but what kind of RAM do you use? Is it single
channel DDR? I believe you said the Mobo is a A7N8X-X. This board only supports single
channel DDR. Not sure whether you can even physically plug in dual channel in a single
channel board and what will happen, if you can.
