Re: [H] Fast Boot Failure
Thanks for the info. I do have a USB device malfunctioning, well, Win10 is telling me it's not identifying itself. That will be fun to find. Eh. I did flash the BIOS, then noticed I didn't flash the recent one. So I'm going to go through the flashing one more time. Then see if I can find out which USB device is malfunctioning.

Well then I guess that's the answer. Never thought of that.

Re: [H] 32 GB stick of RAM showing up as 16 GB
According to the docs on their site it seems that the platform supports only 16gb dimms.

[H] 32 GB stick of RAM showing up as 16 GB
Son's computer needed an upgrade so rummaging through my spares box I found a single stick of 32 GB DDR4 RAM. Stuck it in his machine (Inspiron 5680 running Win10) and it boots just fine. However, it only shows up as 16 GB. Is this because I'm only using 1 DIMM slot? Otherwise not sure what could be the problem. - Brian
