Hello everyone!
I recently tried upgrading the ram of my system to ADATA USA XPG V1.0 OC Series 16GB DDR3 2133MHZ but I plugged them in randomly (2 DIMMS in each block, not in the 1st slot of each block as you're usually supposed to do).
I tried to enable the XMP which stopped the system from booting at all. I flashed my BIOS to the latest version and tried enabling XMP which worked this time around. In the middle of all this, I also did 'Load optimized settings'.
My problem is, ever so often, the system stops recognizing my primary HDD and tries to boot from another HDD present. When I enter the BIOS, I don't see my primary HDD listed at all in the BIOS features where you can set the boot sequence. However, when I go to the 'Exit' page, where you have the 'Boot override' options, I can see my primary HDD listed and I can select it to boot into Win 10 successfully. I hope this is making sense. In a nutshell, I tried to change RAM, made some changes in the Memory frequencies (which since then has already been changed to optimized setting). What could have gone wrong between now and then?
Thanks for reading!
