Revainrating 4 out of 5

I almost returned it but it worked in the end.

I received my memory cards today and was dying to install them on my MSI workstation. So as usual I removed everything (power cord and battery first), then removed all screws and cables, the RAM was on the other side of the motherboard. I ended up removing my old 8GB Samsung card and replacing it with these two. I plugged everything in and closed everything, flipped my laptop over and hit the power button, black screen. I waited and nothing, I thought I might have mixed up the screen connection, so I removed the cover and checked, everything is fine. Then it should be RAM, so I removed both RAM cards and plugged in my normal one, checked and it worked as usual. I removed my old RAM and just installed one of the cards and it worked. 16GB at work. I removed this working card and replaced it with another one. blank screen I removed this one and installed the old working one, it worked. Now I know it must be a bad memory card, I was willing to just return it, but I had a feeling it might be my system not recognizing the card properly, so I checked the BIOS, and mine Card is 16GB and the 8GB card was detected in the correct DIMM. Finally I decided to switch the working 16GB card to the port where the other one was failing, but the 8GB card didn't, and installed the non-working card in the first port where the last one worked. And so the system booted up and when I loaded the BIOS it recognized everything. I don't know what happened but thank god it worked, maybe it was my system that had problems with 32GB but it worked in the end. I will update if anything goes wrong but I'm sure everything will work as promised. Sorry for the long review. but in the end it worked.
