upgraded memory and now windows not starting up at all
As a little xmas treat i got my gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H mb some extra RAM. All had worked perfectly with OCZ 4Gb but when this was replaced with 8 Gb HMD (Crucial i think) i get nothing past the initial black screen loading windows files... not as far as the windows coloured logo. I dont get to safe mode or system repair. All activity stops.
I have swapped the slots the memory is in and swapped the memory in the slots so everything has been everywhere and still windows stalls before it starts at the black screen 'loading windows files' (or something very similar)
Bios reports 8Gb installed with the appropriate manufacturers specified timings etc
I have gone back to the original 4Gb memory and windows works fine after going through system repair and restoring to the last good setup.
If BIOS sees the memory OK should i expect window to as well? Any thoughts welcomed and gratefully received
