RAM Upgrade to 32GB, windows 10 won't start
I recently purchased 32GB of Crucial DDR3 to upgrade my PC. My mother board supports up to 32GB (4 x 8). Currently I have 16GB installed (4 x 4) Running Windows 10 64 Bit Pro installed on my 128GB SSD. When I change out the memory, and boot up the PC, it gets past my BIOS, and boots to the OS, the black screen appears with the blue windows logo, and after a few minutes, the white loading pin wheel appears at the bottom. The PC then sits in this state indefinetly. When I with the ram back to my original 16GB configuration, the PC boots instantly as expected.
Not sure if there are some extra steps for Win 10 to install additional memory. Not sure if MS ties the Win 10 reg keys to Hardware config?
Thanks.
