New ram install ( 8g gskill previously only had 8g of exact same ram ) monitor stays dark at startup. If i hold power button and start in safe mode i can enter BIOS and boot normally from there.

Unfortunately mixed RAM modules are not guaranteed compatibility. Even if they are the exact same make / model, they are still mixed. RAM is only guaranteed in the form sold (from the exact same pack) and could be causing conflicts when your full OS is loading with all third party drivers.

Assuming you have installed them as per the motherboard manual? (if it is a desktop).

Did you reset CMOS after adding the new RAM also?
