I recently built a CLX gaming PC that came with 2 sticks of 32GB T Force Delta DDR5 5600 RAM. I bought 2 more sticks of the same specs to upgrade my total RAM to 128GB. However, when I installed the new RAM into the available slots, my system wouldn't boot. I removed the new sticks, and it booted fine again. I'm not sure if I need to adjust any settings in the BIOS before adding the extra RAM. My BIOS is from Gigabyte, so any advice on what settings to check would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You might want to try swapping the original RAM sticks out for the new ones and just boot with them first. Sometimes systems can be picky about the order of RAM sticks. If that works, you can try adding the originals back in one at a time to see if it accepts them. Good luck!
This might be a common issue with RAM setups. Try disabling XMP in your BIOS and reset the CMOS while all RAM sticks are installed. It could take longer to boot the first time with that much RAM, but it might just need a little time to adjust. And keep in mind that having all four sticks can make it tricky to overclock, so you might need to lower the clock settings as well.
Thanks for the tip! I disabled XMP and reset the CMOS, and it finally booted up with all the RAM installed. Really appreciate the help!
Tried that! It boots fine with just the new sticks. When I add the originals, the lights come on, but it doesn't boot into Windows.
