So far I yet to encounter any major issues from RAM. So I can't advice about the symptoms, but I can advice about the installation and the usage of the slots. Most low end motherboards have only two slots available for RAMs. But mid and high end motherboards usually have up to four slots. The system only allow usage of either 1 slot, 2 slots or 4 slots. If 2 or 4 slots are used, we need to ensure that they the same clock speed and type (DDR2 or DDR3). Otherwise, the system would not work, or worst case it might damage your system. Another important detail is to check what kind of speed the motherboard is able to accept. Older models can only use clock speeds of 667 or 800 (DDR2 RAM). New models usually use much higher speeds, most commonly used are 1333 and above (DDR3 RAM).
The pictures below shows the motherboard slots and the RAM. Take note when inserting the RAM into the motherboard, there is a cutting to watch out for. It only allows one way of fixing into the slot.
And when inserting, make sure to apply force to both ends of the RAM, such that the white clips at both ends eats the RAM as shown in the next picture.
