HP Z620 Workstation. Win 10 Pro.
Current Specs:
Intel Xeon CPU E5-1620 0 @ 3.60 GHz
4 Cores
Current RAM: 24 GB DDR3 1600 MHz 8 of 8 Slots DIMM
Current RAM notes: 2GB x 4 + 4GB x 4 = 24 GB RAM; PC3-12800E
QUESTION: Can I use the following RAM upgrade kit?
8 x 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz, Corsair Vengeance.
The reason that I post and ask the question is bc I did purchase and install the upgrade kit, but the PC won't take it. The PC will not boot to BIOS or Windows with the upgrade kit installed.
Thanks in advance! If you have a better solution for a RAM upgrade kit, please let me know.

@need_hlp_plz , welcome to the forum.
Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the workstation. In Chapter 1, Hardware overview, Page 28, is a section on the memory. I believe that your problem is caused by the fact that only "Error checking and correcting (ECC)-protected" memory modules are to be used. I know that the Corsair Vengeance is non-ECC memory. I just installed 32 GB in my custom build.
