Hi All,
Maybe jumping the gun a little (again). Apparently m$ has made the
update to windows 10 a "recommended"update (It's been on the radio). I
had a computer in similar condition (just the gaming rig) It would boot
one time out of 2; first time telling me I would need to reboot the
computer to apply updates, the second time after applying updates for 3
hours deciding it couldn't apply updates and would then reboot back into
the desktop. Pretty impressive performance from an 8 core 4ghz 8gb
machine! Disabling automatic updates solved the problem immediately.
With regards to the RAM, sorry I missed that email and made an educated
guess.
I'll read the rest of the emails now that I have uploaded my current
train of thought, and apologies again for using the Win**** word.
Cheers,
Peter

Does windows boot in safe mode? When you say windows doesn’t boot,
how far does it actually get?
If you run a memory checker does it come back all ok? It could be
that windows is loading something critical into a memory space that
is faulty (since it is new ram) and maybe linux hasn’t yet hit that
space.

*Subject:* [Linux-users] Can linux boot even when windows can not?
Upgraded my computer from 8gig to 16gig and suddenly from my duel
boot, linux boots fine, windows 7 home premium does not.
Linux shows all 16gig available
can go back to old ram and boot up windows 7.
Bios shows all 16gig
Got ram in slots 1 and 3.
Is there something clever that linux does that allows it to boot?
Anyone else struck this same problem?
