Dead ZOMBIE Cards After Arrival
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I had a weird but very poor experience with this product. I bought the package of two and installed about a month ago. They worked like a charm but I did not realize until yesterday that they actually didn't. When I first installed the cards my computer would not boot correctly. I thought it was the power supply so I replaced with a new power supply. My system seemed to work very well thereafter but I did notice that some of my drivers would act up occasionally (sound specifically).
Then a month or so later July 4, 2016 the fireworks began when I woke up to a blue screen of death on my Windows 2010 system. I could not recover or F8 to go into safe mode. It would just freeze. The error made me think that the drive or processor had become corrupt. When I tried to boot from various different recovery disks the system would freeze then continuously reboot itself. Then I booted it from a Fedora Linux CD and ran a memory test. It revealed over 1,000 memory errors before crashing and powering off.
This happened at least 5 times before I began removing each stick of memory. It would run on one stick until it booted completely and I started running tasks then crash. I finally removed both these two sticks. I went back to only using my old 4gb sticks from OCZ. Those older sticks worked like a charm and has not rebooted since. RETURN!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT PURCHASE THESE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE if you use your computer regularly for business development and leave it on all day.

So disappointed in PNY
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought three of these to upgrade my PC which already had 8GB of RAM. I installed all three, but nothing happened when I turned on my PC. So, I tried installing them one at a time, turning on the computer, see what happened, uninstall it, then try another. My PC would only boot up with one of the three; so, I thought I would return these for a different, better brand name. I returned to the store only to discover that BB only carries PNY in my store. So, I thought I'd give PNY another chance since I've had good experience with their products in the past. I exchanged the two broken and one working sticks of RAM for three more. None of three new ones worked (same procedure as before).
I don't know what to say, other than be wary. If you only need one stick of RAM, then hopefully it's a working one. I will be returning these for a refund. I'm not going to give PNY any more chances on memory. :(

I have been upgrading my own PCs since the early 90's starting with a 286. I kept my old PC because it was a good PC, but my friends bought me a new off the shelf PC. So I thought I would upgrade it. So I bought a graphics card from Bestbuy and 8gig ram stick, just to get it started. I didn't want to wait on shipping. The first stick from bestbuy did not work at all, then I returned it and they gave me another one. This one was faulty as well, but I thought what was going on might be graphics card, but by the time I found out the 30days and receipt was gone. so the last few months I am having my PC crash due to the ram I bought. And the longer I go the more it crashes. I am disabled trying to get disability because no one will hire me, I no longer have the money to just buy more Ram. Thanks Bestbuy, I will no longer buy PC hardware from you, or PCs.

PNY RAM - Warranty Problem

Works as advertised.
Not sure how the warranty will be honored. This purchase was for previous PNY RAM that failed. Best Buy would not honor the warranty.
