    Give it 24/48 hours or so and report back, unless you get a BSOD first.

    Windows booted fine, but ran super slow. All I could do was take a screenshot of resource manager and CPUz. I tried running Firefox so I could post with that ram setup, but it was so slow it just kept not responding. I put my old ram back in so could post the screen shot.

    Can you install two sticks of the new RAM and boot into BIOS then look for an XMP option for your RAM.

    Most of the time I see Harware Reserve that big it is cause by the wrong ram, ram setting, or ram not installed properly as according to the motherboard manual.

    At the time of the picture what ram did you have installed and in what slots?
    Hardware Reserve should be around 60 MB

    It would also be helpful if you filled in your System Specs completely.
