New Build Will Not POST with 4 sticks of RAM installed

New build will NOT POST with four sticks of RAM.
PC will only POST and fully boot when RAM is inserted in B1 and B2. All other RAM configurations:
A2, A2 + B2, A1 + B1, A1 + A2 + B1 + B2 and everything in between produce Q Code 55.

Check the qualified list for memory and the RAM I am using is in the list:
Qualified RAM: CMP32GX5M2X7000C34

Hardware:

Asus ROG Maximus Extreme Z890
Intel Core Ultra 9 285k
Corsair Dominator Titanium 32GB (2x16GB)
Asus Astral LC 5090
Windows 11: OS Build 26100.4351
BIOS: 1901

I also tried these BIOS versions as well in hopes of finding a stable version, but no luck: 
1302 - POST with only two sticks of RAM
1401 - POST with only two sticks of RAM
1501 - POST with only two sticks of RAM
1901 - POST with only two sticks of RAM

I have CMP96GX5M4B6400C32 in my HERO and it passed Memtest86 and has been running great. It's slower than the 7000MT/s you have but is 96GB. To get up to 7000MT/s you'll need the CUDIMM CMHC96GX5M4X7000C36. But you are going for 64GB you can probably find a kit of 2 that is even faster than 7000MT/s

That kit of ram is only listed to support 2 sticks and is only sold as a kit of 2 sticks. Check the far right column in the CVL and you'll see 1,2 listed where it would say 1,2,4 if 4 sticks were supported.

Thanks, it seems I overlooked that one small caveat.

This is good to know. I was banging my head on why the 4 sticks were not working. I'll use 32 GB for the time being and if need be and upgrade to one of the kits mentioned above. Thanks a bunch.
