Pay attention to the most important RAM spec: voltage.
(and oddly the most often omitted spec)
Most newer motherboards will run on either 1.35v or 1.5v modules, but you have to read the manual to be sure.
You can also just look at the RAM it had in it. Try and match all of the specs of that RAM: voltage, buffering, ECC.
Some motherboards can get real cranky when it comes to timings. Again, try and match or stay close to the original RAM spec on timings.
The motherboard manufacturer will also have a list of tested RAM for your motherboard on their website.
Thanks for the info, it looks like my new ram is compatable (very similar ones by the same company are). I'll post if it works or not
Just found out it's a video memory read/write error.. Im so dumb
