    [SOLVED] Full 16GB not being detected, 3rd and 4th RAM slots will not boot alone, but boot when there is another stick in the first two slots

    Hi again everyone! I've got some amazing news! I've fixed it! Turns out, this motherboard has a few "standoff steer clear zones" that coincide with m-atx positions. I had a m-ATX board before this one, and left a few standoffs in because I didn't think it would matter. Well, NEVER AGAIN. I...

    [SOLVED] Full 16GB not being detected, 3rd and 4th RAM slots will not boot alone, but boot when there is another stick in the first two slots

    At this point, after basically being out of my PC since early November and getting absolutely nowhere, I might just "ignore" this issue until I can afford to replace the RAM, and if that doesn't work, then I'll replace the mobo. Ive tried the whole PC shop route before and it was a pretty big...

    [SOLVED] Full 16GB not being detected, 3rd and 4th RAM slots will not boot alone, but boot when there is another stick in the first two slots

    Ive cleared cmos multiple times now and no luck. Loaded optimized defaults and still no luck. I'm starting to think its the RAM, but I'm really not sure. Don't have the money to buy a new motherboard, nor do I have the time to send it back in. Last time it cost me $40 and a week to ship it...

    So something interesting has happened, this has happened only once before. BIOS still said 8GB upon a restart, but task manager now sees all 16gb, shown at 2133. but 8gb of that 16 is hardware reserved. Screenshot for context. View: https://imgur.com/qPjO69k

    None of these worked. It just either auto cleared cmos, or would not post until cmos was cleared manually. Tried setting the frequency to both 3200 and 2933 with these settings, neither worked. When i RMA'd the board, I did mention the problem with the slots. I even contacted their support...

    [SOLVED] Full 16GB not being detected, 3rd and 4th RAM slots will not boot alone, but boot when there is another stick in the first two slots

    I forgot to mention that yes i have tried to manually set the timings and voltages to the xmp settings. It behaves the same way as setting the xmp regularly. The memory tab in CPU-Z shows both RAM sticks in the correct slots running in dual channel at 2133 Mhz. Screenshots: View...
