Hello, I recently got two 32GB DDR4 RAM sticks for my home server setup. After installing both, the computer wouldn't start. The fans began spinning and the VRAM LED stayed lit but didn't do anything further. Initially, removing one stick didn't help. Then swapping back the old memory worked, allowing the system to boot. After that, mixing the old and new sticks again got the system running properly (BIOS showed 64GB RAM). I cleared the CMOS but it didn't make a difference. The last configuration with two new and one old stick worked, but still not expected. OS details: XCP-NG (Xen Server) Z170A PC MATE (MS-7971), Intel i7-6700K at 4.00 GHz. Old RAM: G.Skill RipJaws V DDR4 3200 MHz CL16 DIMM (2x8GB, 16GB). New RAM: Crucial DDR4 3200 MHz CL22 UDIMM (2x32GB, 64GB). SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2, BeQuiet L8-400w. BIOS version E7971IMS.AG0.
