thank you ! i will continue my hunt for how to actually make it work so the system starts at least

Hey guys, i have a Z170 pro gaming Asus motherboard, that I ran with RAM cards HyperX 2X8GB KIT DDR4 2133MHz CL14 (HX421C14FB2K2/16) up until now. I wanted to upgrade to 32GB so I bought Patriot Viper4 Series 16GB KIT DDR4 3000Mhz CL16 . I've read that the CL numbers can either run with the ''worse one'' or not run at all, so i'm not certain if i did anything wrong, other than not getting the exact same RAM as i had before? When I insert the Patriot ones instead of the HyperX, the PC doesnt even go to BIOS. When I start pc with HyperX in same slots adding the new Patriot in the the empty ones, situation is the same. My friend suggested i look up the compatibility list of the Z170 Motherboard with RAMs, and i could not find the Patriot/Viper there. But neither could i the Kingston/HyperX ones that i've been using the past few years :D!!! (https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/Z170-K/Z170_DDR4_4DIMM_memory_QVL_report_201712.pdf) I'm trying my best to see if there's another way to resolve this before running to the shop for an exchange/refund... Any help or insight offered is much appreciated! Thank you guys and gals, cya! Jakub
