So my original build was with the Asus x99-a motherboard with 16 GB of Crucial DDR4 (4 x 4 GB). My computer kept freezing since I like to have a lot of google chrome pages + other programs open and so I bought Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8 GB). I tried every combination of using the DIMM slots possible but the max RAM recognized by my machine was 24 GB. During one of these configurations, I changed my CAS latency to 10. Well, finally my mobo recognized all 32 GB but windows wouldn't boot. I tried restarting multiple times to no avail. Finally, after booting into my mobo, I pressed F8 and selected my OS drive and windows loaded without problem – all 32 GB were recognized.
The problem is that now my computer won’t boot without doing that. This happens everytime now: When I power it on, the computer turns on but the mobo doesn’t post. I have to hold down the start button and then press the start button again. On the second time, the mobo posts but it says overclocking error press F1. From here if I press F8 and select my OS it boots without problem. If I press F10 to save without making changes, the whole process repeats starting from the no post. I just updated my bios to latest and also changed the DRAM voltage as well as fooled around with the VCCIO. Nothing I change can get break this cycle and if I change the CAS back to Auto, the mobo and windows only recognizes 24 GB of RAM.
In summary please help! Thank you
