RAM Problems
I have a Dell optiplex 780SFF running Win7 Ultimate x64.
The DDR3 Ram currently installed is only 2GB (2x1GB sticks).
I bought Corsair XMS3 ram. 4 sticks each of 4GB. 1333 MHz.
Trying any permutations just causes the pc to run its fans but it won't boot.
The Dell manual states that this configuration is OK. I should be able to run 16GB and the machine should run 4GB sticks.
Am I missing something?
I've previously changed RAM over the years and it was just plug and play.
Do I need to change BIOS settings? I flashed the BIOS with the latest A14 one.
