Computer was working fine for several months, then I decided to add some new components --


Memory:  G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series 32GB (4x8GB) 288-Pin RGB DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) -- (New)
PSU:  Seasonic Focus GX-850, 850W 80+ Gold, Full-Modular -- (New)

 

-- Since installing new components the computer is hanging and or loading super-slow on boot.

 

I get the BIOS splash screen and am able to go into BIOS.  But it is somewhere after the BIOS that the boot hangs.  If I give it fifteen or twenty minutes sometimes the Windows 10 splash screen will come, but the hang continues there.  If I just leave the computer alone for an hour, the system timesout.

 

When I installed the new components I had some difficulty getting the DRAMs seated and had to power the system off and on a few times (listening to error beeps) without letting the boot fully cycle.  Maybe I damaged something?

 

To swap PSUs I had to change all cables and completely rewire.  Did I miss something?

 

I tried booting from a recovery flash drive and there was no difference.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Old xmp profile might be causing instability, reset the bios either with the pins and/or removing the cmos battery and let it sit for a minute without the power cable.

 

Then put in the cable and cmos battery and power it up and go into the bios.

 

Make sure the xmp profile is off initially, if it starts acting up enable the xmp profile.

I fix computers and computer accessories... sometimes... when I want to...

It worked.  You are a gentleman, a saint, and a scholar.  Thank you for your help, I will pay it forward.
