I am currently running 128GB 2933MHz memory (8x16GB) and decided since I have 4 more slots free, I purchased anther 4x16GB, identical to what is already installed. Now on start up the system will not post, they are all configurated in the correct DIMM slots. The only difference between current and new is different manufacture dates. Is there something I need to change in the BIOS, running latest BIOS by the way.
Do you have a single CPU or dual CPU system? And can you take the picture of old memory and new memory? This system should have 24 memory slots in total but you said 12?
Did you check if the memory voltage or timings need to be manually adjusted in the BIOS? I’ve heard that sometimes mixing memory from different manufacturing dates can cause instability, even if the specs are the same. Also, did you try lowering the frequency, like down to 2666MHz, to see if that helps?

(Take note of current BIOS settings before reset)
