[SOLVED] Mobo can't work with 2 RAM sticks, only 1

[bwallx]

I've seen this raised before but not with my hardware:
Mobo: Maximus VII Ranger with i7

I have two RAM sticks: 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (9-9-9-24)

The mobo will work with EITHER one fine, but not two, regardless of the slots I use. It displays 55 RAM not found on the LED and cycles trying to configure forever.

I also have an old set of 4x 4Gb sticks that result in an FE error on the LED on the mobo.

Any ideas as to what is wrong please? The UEFI has an excellent range of options for RAM but clearly can't open it with two sticks installed.

Is there settings I can set when booting with just one stick that will make it work with two maybe?

Try to update the bios and set all the settings the same as before update.

also did you populate it on slot 2 and 4?

Yes the bios is on defaults which is fine normally and I tried all combinations incl 2&4 as normal.

Yes the bios is on defaults

is it on the latest beta bios?

Strange ram issues like this are often caused by a bent pin in the cpu socket.
