My Motherboard has 2 RAM slots, and my PC will not boot up with 2 RAMs (2x4gb). But it does boot with just 1 RAM (1x4gb). I have tried new RAMs.

Why is this please help!

That really should not matter does your pc show 4gb of ram or does it just not boot at all if it says only 4gb avalible then you need a 64bit os. 2. Your motherboard does not support 8gb of memory 3. Your motherboard is broke

Your motherboard probably doesn't support 8gb of RAM. If you look online you could easily find out how much RAM it can handle. It may only handle 4 gb of RAM.

Hope this helped

32 bit only allows 4 gb. it really does matter.

Yes but It does not mean that his system will not boot up. All it means is he won't be able to utilise the full 8gb

Are the memory sticks the same brand and model number? Even better, are they verified to work with each other if they're running in dual channel (they would be sold together).
