So I have a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UDH3H motherboard that I'm trying to install two 8gb sticks into. I already had 16gb of RAM installed, but I wanted to upgrade to 32gb.
My problem is that whenever I try to install the two additional sticks, the computer gets stuck booting over and over again, with the fan and lights turning on for a few seconds and then shutting off and looping.
I have already tried resetting the CMOS by pulling out the battery, I have already upgraded my BIOS firmware, reset the BIOS to defaults settings, etc. I also tried swapping out my new sticks with my old sticks and it works perfectly, so there are no faulty sticks -- but whenever I try inserting a stick into slot 3 or 4 or both, my PC dies. The sticks I'm using are HyperX Fury HX316C10FBK2/16, and all 4 sticks are exactly the same (DDR3, 1600MHz), and are all supposedly compatible. Why would only 2 work in slots 1 and 2 if they're all the same?
Could there be any other BIOS settings that I need to adjust? If there are any other things that someone can think of, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
