I just added a matching set of 2x4gb sticks to a running setup to go from 8 to 16 gigs. I had the other set at 9-9-9-24 @ 1600 working with no problems, but when I put the new set in, it wouldn't post. Took the old set out and put the new set in their place to check the dimm slots and it posts but gives me a message saying the settings are causing problems (still in bios). So I change it back to auto RAM settings and it boots up fine...but it hangs a little bit before the post screen comes up - like 10 seconds - which it's never done before. Run memtest86, no errors. I slowly move the settings back to 9-9-9-24 to see where it goes wrong, but then the error message never comes back (weird). I put the old sticks back in the open slots and it still boots fine and memtest clears w/out issue, except it's still hanging before booting (long enough that the monitor goes into standby, and it sometimes skips the boot message screen). Not a huge deal but I'm just wondering if there's a bigger underlying issue due to the other oddities. I upped the CPU-NB voltage +0.10 because of the suggestions here to do that and still no change.
