Windows errors in questions

With what sticks? The same ones?

Yeh, the three good ones. (Two in blue and one in black). Windows will boot like normal with three sticks, correct? I want to make sure.

Yes it will

Also remember to test a good stick in the other black slot

Of course. Hopefully the other black slot is good

I hope so too

If it is the black socket, that means I have to get a new Mobo?

Not necessarily. If there are errors in that bank, then you will have to then get the other RAM stick out. Then you will need to test the b1 slot on its own. If no errors are present, then it would indicate trouble with that dual channel kit. But do test. It's rare for a memory bank to go bad, however. If the bank was bad, then it wouldn't read a stick from it at all

If it is a dual channel, that means I have to send in both in? Yeh, the bank is good, since it picked up the ram.

Yes you would probably have to send the set in if they both aren't working together correctly. Not sure if you can just send in one stick. But as I said, let's test it first the black slot first with a good stick. If it passes with a good stick then we know the bank is OK and the other stick is bad " the one you haven't used yet". So hopefully it will work. Any one of the good sticks will work and enable dual channel because they are the same sticks. Lol
