Hello, first time posting on this forum.
Hardware specs:
CPU: Phenom II x6 1100t 3.3Ghz
Mobo: Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P (Bios ver: F8n)
GPU: ATI HD4890 1GB
RAM DDR3: G.Skill 2x8GB 2133 CL9 Kit, G.Skill 2x8GB 2400 CL11 Kit (Either set currently clocked to default settings 1333MHz C9 1T)
SSD in PCIe slots: Plextor m6e m.2 256GB (Windows 10 pro), 2 x Crucial MX300 525GB
HDD in GSATA port: Western Digital 750GB (Windows 7 pro)
PSU: Seasonic Passive 550W 80PLUS
Other stuff: pcie x1 wireless card, pcie x1 USB 3.0 expansion card
I have a fairly old PC build that can boot fine with 16GB to 20GB (2-3 slots) of mixed DDR3 RAM with windows 10 pro on a m.2 SSD adapted to a PCIe 2.0 slot. But I get problems trying to boot with 24GB to 32GB (4 slots) of RAM. So far the only way I got it to boot with 32GB is when I bash the F8 key which then loads up windows 7 safe mode options; with that I select "run windows normally" and it will then run windows 7 with 32GB of RAM at default settings at 2T with no voltage adjustments necessary. But It's not ideal having to revert back to windows 7 and hit the F8 key everytime I power up the PC...
So any ideas to get it to boot normally under windows 10 with 32GB? Could AHCI mode from PCIe be a problem since I originally had windows 7 running in IDE mode via SATA?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
