dino99 Re: System will not boot after ram upgrade. Have to go back 2 versions of Ubuntu
the easiest solution to know whats happening when you are booting, is to remove "quiet splash" from the boot line. Is your bios identifying all the ram sticks ? Are they identical : same model, same cas ? Depending on the sticks order on the mobo, results can be different (check your mobo doc), but /var/log/dmesg & boot.log might help you .
Bios is identifying ram sticks and the correct amount of ram shows up in stats. Both ram sticks are identical. When I removed the new sticks and put in the old configuration, the problem remains.
How do I remove "quiet splash"? What do cas, mobo, mean? How do I access boot.log?
Found boot.log :

I looked at DMESG and could not understand any of it, but the last three lines say:
[ 28.113610] hda_codec: ALC880: BIOS auto-probing.
[ 28.828262] init: kdm main process (957) killed by TERM signal
[ 28.880835] init: gdm main process (1000) killed by TERM signal
Are there any key words to search for in dmesg that might help?
