Question My PC wont boot with RAM in Dual-Channel

[Tobskii]

Motherboard: Gigabyte z270p-D3
Ram: Kingston Fury ddr4 3200mhz 2x8gb (brand new)
My pc wont boot when i put my ram in dual channel (Dimm slot 1,3 or 2,4)
But when i put one in each color (not dual channel) it will boot. I tried putting 1 ram stick in all of the 4 dimm slots to see if they are broken but they all work with 1 in it.

Go get Memtest64. Run that on 1 stick in #2 for a few hrs. Then use the other stick in #2. See if it comes up with any errors.

Its so weird when i try to put them in dual channel it wont work, but any other combination work, ive tried 1 on all 4 dimm slots and they work... the ram is brand new, compatible with my motherboard.

Is this additional ram? You bought a second stick that matches the original? Or is the ram a 2 stick kit, brand new?

I suspect that you may have a damaged pin in the cpu socket.
It is all too easy to do if you needed to smoosh the processor around to get it seated.
A common symptom of such damage is ram issues.

If you are careful, use a needle to bend the pin back in place.
