Hi.
I have a B450 Aorus with a Ryzen 5 1600af, and 2x 8g Sticks of DDR4 S Kill, 3200 RAM.
I wanted to install an extra 2 sticks to bring up the total to 32g of RAM, but when I did, upon startup, the Windows startup completely crapped out, went to the Blue Screen of Death, and continued to restart. It restarted about 7 times, through the same cycle, until it prompted me to the Windows Boot menu, but it couldn't do a recovery, so I had to redownload Windows on a USB thumb drive, and reinstall windows.
I took the RAM sticks out before re installing windows, and now it's working fine, just like before. But what happened? What did I do wrong? Is there something I can do to make this work?
I did read my Motherboard's manual, and it does say it supports 32gs of RAM, and of that kind.
The extra ram I got was the EXACT same as before, so there shouldn't have been any issues with compatability.
Your help is appreciated.
