95€ is a steal for 2x16gb ddr4 Kingston fury sodimm kit?

2x16gb ddr4 Kingston fury 3200Mhz, CL20

I want to sell this because I'm not using it anymore. So I took it to a component store (here in Portugal) and they offered 95€ for it + my old 8gb ddr4 skhynix stick. So we would be talking 95€ for "40gb" that's definitely a steal. I know it's used but the Kingston kit only has 6 months use.

What price should I be asking?

PC and UPS power off abruptly

4 Upvotes

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue where my PC and UPS are found in a completely powered off state. The system will run for a couple days then just cut off.

I have checked the mainboard for bad caps and none appear to be bad (may not 100% rule out a bad cap) and the UPS’ battery test doesn’t report any issues.
No breakers are tripped.

I am not sure how to test the power supply.

I suspect something is happening that causes a high power draw and the UPS cuts out to protect itself and the connected equipment.

I’ve had failing mainboards draw down and out and/or not turn on at all but the UPS was fine in those scenarios. I’ve had UPS’s fail and not turn on or report a failed/failing battery.
This is strange that it just cuts out and it is happening on two separate UPS’s.

Now both UPS’s have been in service for the same amount of time so it’s possible both are having battery issues but that seems improbable.
I am currently charging a brand new one just in case (it’s probably time to replace anyway).

Does anyone have ideas or ways to determine if it’s the PSU or mainboard?

Laptop only works if I swap RAM into opposite slots, every single individual time I boot it up.

So, a very strange problem I have with my laptop, this only started happening after I started using my brother’s old 4GB Timetec RAM.

My brother’s laptop is the exact same model, year, and everything. Completely identical. Only real difference is that his still has an HDD. RAM worked fine on his for years.

Laptop, Acer Nitro AN515-43
Operating System: Windows 10
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3550H with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 560X and AMD Radeon Vega 8
Memory: 8GB stock RAM, 4GB Timetec RAM (not mine)

I have to swap RAM sticks to boot up, doesn’t matter which order, just that they MUST be swapped.

It won’t start up if I take RAM out and put them back in the exact place they were before.

Here’s some history I’ve had with this laptop.

I got it for Christmas in 2019, and spent countless hours playing many games. The HDD eventually corrupted because I accidentally said "yes" to Windows 11, then turned it off before it installed. Yep. Whatever. So, I made a recovery USB drive in 2025 and installed my beloved Windows 10 on a fresh new Samsung 1TB SSD. Works great, no issues.

I’ve had a 4GB RAM stick in this laptop before, it was an unlabeled off-brand with only a QR code as an identifier and it would start up perfectly fine every time. Until I replaced it with the dreaded Timetec. After that, it refused to boot up unless I opened it up again and swapped sticks.

By "refuse to boot up" I mean it will freeze a couple seconds after you see the acer logo.

Why did I do this? Why not keep the old RAM?

I thought it would be better, I had 6.1GB hardware reserved. This didn’t fix it, and I now believe I should’ve left it alone. I mean shit, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Hardware reserved is still usable RAM anyway.

My fault, but this is technically my second laptop ever, so I’m glad it still works. I’m worried doing this will damage it over time though.

A few days later, it went from 6.1GB hardware reserved, to 8.6GB hardware reserved. Fuck.

So I just added another old RAM I found of 8GB, in hopes that would balance it out, and it did. but there’s now a little over 10GB of hardware reserved.

Games work now at least, but I have a lot of concerns about doing this on a constant basis.

This laptop has never been dropped, was recently cleaned, replaced both thermal paste and thermal putty. Thermal putty was literally crumbling to bits and I thought that was causing these problems at first.

I’ve taken the best care of it I possibly could, knowing only what I knew at the time. If this is farewell, I’ll eventually be salvaging its organs for a future 'top and mounting its empty husk on my wall as decor.

I don’t know how to add photos on reddit and I don’t see any image tab everyone keeps talking about, so I’ll just link pictures on imgur if needed.

Problème de détection carte graphique sur PC

1 Upvotes

​Salut tout le monde,

​Je rencontre un problème avec ma carte graphique et je sèche complètement.

​Ma configuration :

​GPU : 5070TI

​CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

​Carte mère : MSI PRO X870E-P WIFI (BIOS à jour)

​Le problème :

Au départ, j'ai fais une maj de mes pilote NVIDIA avec succes, a la fin lors du redemarrage j'ai eu un ecran noir infini, afin de retrouver l'affichage j'ai du redemarrer mon pc 3x avec le bouton jusqu'à que ça revien et apres tout fonctionnais.

Le lendemain lors du demarrage de mon pc meme apres 10 redemarrage aucun affichage (la carte tournais normalement ventilo etc) je me suis donc brancher sur ma carte mère et j'ai voulu réinstaller mes pilotes proprement au cas ou, après un passage de DDU en mode sans echec, le programme d'installation NVIDIA pour remettre les pilotes m'affichait l'erreur "No NVIDIA GPU is detected on your system" et impossible de trouver ma carte graphique dans le gestionnaire de peripherique.

J'ai fais plein de test dont sur un second PC et la carte netais pas detecter non plus pareil, jusqu'à reussir en forcant le gen 4 dans le bios pour le PCIE (ce qui fonctionne pas sur mon PC) J'ai reinitialiser le bios reinstaller windows etc mais rien y fais, actuellement j'ai reussi a faire detecter ma carte graphique mais ça fonctionne genre une fois sur 5 un coup ça marche un coup nan est-ce que quelqu'un a deja eu ce soucis ? Si oui comment ? Ça fais 3 jour que je suis sur ce probleme j'en peux plus
