Hello! Im having issues to make my pc work correctly.

I've 2 x vengance LPX ddr4 8GB3000mhz and when I install both rams the pc isn't booting. Let me explain a little bit better

My motherboard is an ASRock taichi 270.

Let's say that I have sockets A, B, C & D. The dual channel pairs are A-C and B-D

If I use
A-C
A-B
C-B
C-D
B-D
A
B
C
PC is not booting

The only way I get my pc booted is if I only use channel D.

Motherboard sockets is in good shape, nothing wrong with them. I cleaned the ram slot, the memory
BIOS is up to date

Is theere anything I can do to figure out what is going on? It seems weird that I have 3 slots broken.

Can you please state the version for your BIOS? As for your ram,

slots A2 and B2 are what need populating.

What processor are you working with? To rule out your ram being the issue, have you tried using both sticks in slot B2? As for the rams, are they form a kit or do they come from two different batches? Check the PCB version for both sticks of ram.
