Hello Intel Support Community!
I have a DH77KC motherboard in one of the workstations I use. It's running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit with an i5 CPU. I recently upgraded it to 32GB using a 4x8GB RAM kit. Now, it takes several minutes to startup and showdown Windows. When it was running on a 2x8GB kit -- a different pair of DIMMs I've put into a different machine -- it booted quickly.
Benchmarking the memory once Windows has started up demonstrates a great latency and bandwidth. But startup and shutdown are just frustratingly sloooooow. I've tried disabling the on-board video, under-clocking the RAM & CPU, under- and overclocking the external video card; no avail. What could be the problem? Could I have incompatible DIMMs? Could they be DOA chips?
Thanks,
Dan C. Wlodarski
