Hello,
When I originally built my computer, I put 16GB of RAM in it. I now I want to upgrade to 32GB. I went to my PC Part Picker list and found the exact RAM I originally put in my system and ordered it again so my system would have 32GB. I got it in the mail and put it in. I then go to boot up and nothing happens. It doesn't boot up, the bios/uefi doesn't come up. Absolutely nothing happens. I then take out the 2 dimms I added and it boots just fine. I made sure the new dimms were pushed in fully. I already tried resetting cmos and then booting with 32GB and no luck with that.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

So I took out the old RAM and put in the new RAM where the old RAM was. I booted it up and the same thing happened. It just wouldn't boot or anything. It was just a black screen. So the new RAM is dead?
