I've installed a new 8GB ddr3-1600 Crucial Ballistix ram stick in my PC to bring it to 16GB, and now it won't power up. I had been operating on the one slot, but now when I put the other ram stick in the A1 slot, the PC won't start. It just cycles on and off in a power loop. This is the strange part...
... when I put the new ram stick in either the A1 or B1 slot, it doesn't power up on either. And the ram stick I had before is in the B1 slot, and that's the only slot and ram stick the PC will power up with. Both the make and model of the ram sticks are the same.
My mobo is an Asrock H61m-VG4, I have a 500w psu, i5-2500k CPU with a GTX 750 card. What gives? The ram seems to be well-seated.
