Hey guys,

Yesterday I received my new two sticks of RAM to add to my current two..

I installed the RAM (and a GPU support bracket at the same time) so the PC was unpluged and powered down for a bit of time..

Anyway, when I booted up, it couldnt load into W10, and the RAM debug light on the motheboard was on, so I done a hard reset, entered BIOS, enabled XMP and the, F10 it, and booted into Windows fine, no debug, and all memory present and running at the 3600Mhz XMP speed.

Has that just been a bit iffy starting up because 1, off power for a little while? 2, new RAM inserted and therefore different "config" from the OG two sticks that were in there?


Cheers guys!
 
Pretty sure its the 2
BIOS was trying to use memory timings set up for two older sticks, which won't work with 4.
