    Is the RAM you put onto the motherboard compatible with the motherboard itself? It should automatically detect the full RAM if your system is a 64-bit version of Windows 10.....

    My first guess is, like Executor says, compatibility issues.

    Do you think it looks like I may need the low voltage DIMM. (1.35 v 1.5)?

    You have two different RAM modules, with different voltages. One says 1.35 volts, the other says 1.5 volts. You need to match to the original, which seems to be 1.35 volts. Not 1.5 volts. When installing RAM always try to match with the same vendor and module. And if possible, in pairs.

    Regardless, your issue appears to be mismatched RAM modules.

    Once I saw the voltage, I wondered if that's what it was. Thanks guys. I'll replace it tomorrow and see if that does it.

    To be safe I would get a pair so you know both modules match.

    Good luck.
