They probably would have said no to begin with.

The first 1 caused a system crash after 5 mins. The second 1 is being tested for the last 20 mins but not done yet...

Sounds like 1 bad stick. But let us know

Today I got a replacement stick and so far everything works perfectly. Memtest shows 0 erros and I've ran across 0 artifacts so far!
I've tried the 2x 8gb sticks on my v3 571g as well and they work just fine : )
Thanks to every who replied to this thread!

Hate that you had to go through that with bad RAM. That is not very common, well, unless you are in these forums!

Does windows show the full 16 gigs?
