FYI, Fast Startup loads an imagine of your last state when you shut it down; this can cause problems if changes were made that requires programs to reload it's files on the next start. One way to test if Fast Startup is causing issues is to use the Restart option. Restart bypasses FastS Startup...

Also make sure you use Restart, not Shutdown. Assuming you have Fast Startup enabled, it loads your current configuration into memory when you shutdown your computer for a faster start time and often doesn't remember some changes that needs a reboot to implement. Restart OTOH is designed to...

Try removing the memory, clean all the contacts (90% rubbing alcohol and qtips works well) and reinstalling them. If it continues test the RAM.
