So, latest update...
The new ram arrived and the board would only post with 1 stick in D1.
Once posted, went into uefi but the bios would not update via internet flash as it kept timing out, so had to use a usb stick... sigh 1
Once the bios was updated, all sticks worked... yay!
However... Windows install kept crashing... sigh 2
Upon looking closer, one of the sticks in C1 kept disappearing!!!
So, swapped the stick with another and it went walk about again... sigh 3
Looks like a dodgy stick so had to pull it. Windows installed fine in the end.
Seriously fell out with Amazon! The ram shipped from Germany to the UK and turned up a day late even though it was ordered on Prime. They showed no sympathy or effort to make me happy given the late delivery and dodgy ram. Now have to wait until the end of next week for another set!!!
Nightmare!!!
