I am currently using a i7-7800x with a MSI X299 Raider (8 slots of memory capacity),
Just recently bought the Corsair Vengeance LPX 32g (4 x 8) 2400Mhz, and for some reason when I go into the MSI bios the mother board is picking up that 4 slots are in use but when I boot windows it says 3/8 slots are in use (should be 4/8).
Currently I've tried a couple of things: Before hand I checked compatibility, my CPU supports quad-channel memory/2400Mhz memory, and up to 128gb of memory, while my motherboard supports up to 8 channel memory supporting my current frequency of memory up to 3400Mhz and I checked the manual to verify I was using the right slots for quad channel memory; its not picking up my first slot of memory, I've switch the cards around to make sure it wasn't a dead one; and I've gone into my system config to make sure there was no cap on memory being used and attempted to set the memory cap to 32GB to make sure.
I am at a complete loss due to the fact that my motherboard bios pics up the memory but for some reason windows does not pick up that specific slot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(Update):
I put my old memory into the motherboard in combination with the new memory the old memory also being corsair vengeance only its 16gb (2 x 8) @ 2133Mhz, I followed the manual for which slots to use and now rather than having 6/8 slots in use its only using 4/8 slots at a total of 32GB rather than 48GB
