While trying to upgrade my RAM from 4Gb to 8Gb I've encountered a problem in that it will not boot up at all with the new RAM. I've tested the new RAM on another system and it boots up normally so it has something to do with my system. I have tested each new stick individually in the system with the same results. Normal beeps and bloops upon startup (so no BIOS error messages) and it freezes on EVGA Bootup Screen with code 3A (Initialize real time clock) on the MoBo.
I am running Windows 10 64bit. I've attempted loading the BIOS XMP profiles to obtain the 1600Mhz frequency and it still did nothing. Other than the amount of memory the only differences I see between the old and the new RAM is the version number (5.11 for the old and 5.21 for the new). I have attached an image of the two sets if that helps at all and have listed some system information below.
