I have setup my system again using W10.
Other than changing HDs I haven't made any changes and now I have the following issue:
The computer wont (always) start. It makes a ticking noise. I checked for the HDs to be the source, the fans, etc, the noise is not coming from theses sources.
If I pull out my RAMs though, and install them again, it all works fine, the system will start up. However, after startup it only shows a limited amount of RAM.
I am using G.Skill Ripjaws F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH on a Gigabyte Mainboard GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK which I have installed in the 2 appropriate slots. I have swapped around the memory modules, so I can verify that all modules are detected, however, only at half of their capacity (they are 2x2GB, each gets detected with 2GB).
I have also tried some other RAM that I have here (Adata PC3-12800, 4GB. If using these the full capacity will show (2x2GB = 8GB). Initially - before installing Windows 10 - I used both memories, the ripjaws and the adata together (a total of 4 modules, 4Gb each) and all worked fine for over a year.
I am using a OCZ500MXSP 500W power supply. Additionally, I have 2 Seagate Barracuda 1Tb HDs and an Adata SATA drive for the system installed. My graphics adapter is aAMD Radeon R9 380 series 8pulling 190W to my knowledge).
