Memory not working with motherboard

I have a gigabyte h270 gaming 3 mother board with an I5 7600K, Zotac 1070 ti mini (i think is what its called), 16 GB crucial Basilisk Sports 2400 ram, and a few ssd's. I tried installing 16gb more Corsair Vengeance 2400 but when I try to turn on computer it would start for at most 2 seconds and restart. I couldn't even get to bios screen. I thought maybe slot 3 or 4 was bad and tried removing the crucial ram and same issue. I tried every combination of the old and new ram but same issue. The mother board is running bios from 2016 when I bought it. Would this be fixed with a bios update? I have wanted to upgrade to Z390 board and I have done so to a MSI Z390 A Pro and all 32gb ram works. It has an I5 9600k on it as well. I am asking as I want to sell the old board and CPU but want the buyer to have a seamless install if at all possible and so if I have an issue in the future I can fix it myself. I know for gaming purposes having 32gb is overkill and not needed but it was on sale. The power supply is a 650 rosewill 80plus bronze as I thought maybe it could be a power issue.

Reset cmos, try again. Some memory just won't work with some boards, or in combination with other ram.

Have you tried just old ram?

Or just new ram?

 

Which of the above 2 combos works, if any?

It's probably not a power issue if the computer is rebooting before any real load is on it.

Maybe try and get a second, identical kit of the original kind you used. For some reason interchanging ram has never worked for me. That may be the problem.

I decided to just get a new motherboard and cpu. I upgraded to a msi z399 pro-a with a i5 9600k. They were both on clearance/open box so I only spent 280$ on them combined. The ram even works on it fine. Thanks for the reply

9600k isn't compatible with Z399... assume you meant Z390?
