Hello everyone and thanks in advance for any help.

i bought new ram, which is compatible with my motherboard, i'm running windows 10 64 bit on an msi gaming 7 mobo with a i7 4790k.previously i was using 12gb of mushkin enhanced, but i upgraded to 32gb of kingston hyperx fury. both had same clock speeds. the guy at NCIX recommended these and assured me they'd work so thats what i got.

Now, my bios and system recognize the ram. so thats all good. i can boot into windows so thats great.

but while in windows, i can't seem to properly load things. Explorer doesn't work and take a while to start up, task manager crashes, and the start button doesn't even work.

What am i doing wrong and how can i fix this?

Thanks, Gary.

i switched to my second cmos profile and cleared it. this seemingly did nothing.

The exact ram i changed from is 12gb(4gb x3 sitcks) of mushkin silverline enchanced pc3-10666 9-9-9-24 1.5v

and i switched to kingston hyperxfury black 32gb(8gb x4 sticks) 1600 cl10 1.5v

i can see that their speeds are different, so that probably effected it in some way.
