Hi, hoping to get a little help. Posted yesterday about adding some additional RAM to my PC but gave up on that, returned the RAM and ordered new RAM to replace my current sticks.

Unfortunately I am having the exact same problem. Upon starting, the PC freezes within about 30 seconds and I have to reboot. This happening with the other RAM and when inserting new RAM makes me wonder if its something else.

My PC is...

ASUS Maximus Hero VIII
Intel i7-6700k
Nvidia GTX Titan X
(Current) 2 x Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB 2666MHz
(Replacing with) 2 x Kingston Hyper X Fury 16GB 2666MHz

Really appreciate any help.

SOLVED :D :D :D So happy. Here in case anybody has similar problems...

After searching the web all over. I discovered the "MemOK" button on the motherboard. After inserting the new RAM, powering on computer (not booting). It said to hold the MemOK button at the top of the ASUS Maximus Hero VIII motherboard for 2 seconds. It then restarts and does something (adjusts the settings for the RAM maybe) and it sorted it. 30 seconds later the PC started and all working fine.

As a bonus thought I would try adding my old RAM and trying the MemOK button again. No luck at first but second try worked great. Just the "AO" code on the motherboard :)

So at the moment have my new 2 x Kingston Hyper-X Fury 2666MHz DDR4 16GB and 2 x Kingston Hyper-X...

So at the moment have my new 2 x Kingston Hyper-X Fury 2666MHz DDR4 16GB and 2 x Kingston Hyper-X Fury 2666MHz DDR4 8GB installed. Total of 48GB RAM. Started up a heavily modded game that was generally always running at 97% RAM due to the mods and it was using 41GB of RAM in the end.

Hopefully this helps somebody!
