Computer Hardware Support - Re: New RAM causing a strange boot problem...

Since the board ran fine *while* it was running, memory
voltage itself is only one of the potential issues. It
could be a motherboard design problem, failing capacitors in
the memory regulation circuit, or a poor power supply.
Possibly a bios bug too, you might check on bios updates.
Check the system with memtest86 for several hours.
It would be good to try 2.6V if the board is running it at
2.5V currently. There would be a setting in the bios,
wording may vary but something akin to "memory voltage" or
"vdimm" or ??? The range for the setting should be a
tipoff, it's typically around 2.5-2.8V, sometimes extending
a little higher but IMO, you should not need nor use above
2.7V, it should work at or below that if it's going to, if
the memory is properly spec'd.
