Msconfig

Bought a new RAM memory (2x8gb) and after installation I noticed that system uses only one stick of memory (8gb). Found on internet solution to set "Maximum memory" setting in msconfig to something else than default, and it was automatically set to full RAM capacity. After that I couldn't boot...
