Hi I recently bought a new motherboard for my pc since my old one has some problems with the ethernet port went from a GIGABYTE Z390 UD to a

GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi after plugging everything up for some reason it won't start with more than 8gb of ram in the slot and it also won't start with my m.2 ssd inserted. It came with a cd for drivers but my pc doesn't have a cd player. Could it be because of the missing drivers or is it something else?

Did you flash the new motherboard?

I presume RAM compatibility bit you , but it could also be out of date BIOS.
You flash BIOS with a USB stick. READ THE MANUAL CAREFULLY! It is risky

Drivers can be downloaded from the net, using Gigabyte's own driver manager tool.
You only need drivers once you have Windows up and running. Not yet.

Be more specific about your RAM. Is the 64gb from Crucial actually a 2 x 32gb matched kit? Is the Corsair Vengeance 16gb actually a matched kit of 2 x 8gb?
Sorry, yes the Corsair Vengeance 16gb is 2x 8gb CMK16GX4M2A2400C16 and the Crucial is 64gb 2x 32gb CP2K32G4DFRA32A
