Hello everyone !!!
Recently i built a new pc but .... lucky me, I'm facing some strange issues. Was looking all over the internet but didn't find anything similar to my problem so i decided to look for help here. Following the mobo manual i added the 2 x 8 ddr4 sticks into A2 and the B2 slot ( also changed to A1 and B1 ) to get a working dual channel. But when i try to start the pc, computer wont start at all not even get to that bios screen. When i add the sticks to A1 and A2 or B1 and B2 slot in single channel system will boot and will work normal. While working in single channel every few days system will freeze and only a hard reset helps.
Made few tests with prime95 / memtest / furmark and system was stable without any mistakes (single channel). Also tested with other memory sticks and had the same issue. Mobo has the latest bios v.1002.
What do you think about this issue ? Should i RMA the mobo back?
Thanks in advance
