Maximus VI GENE I7-4770k - Error Code 55 on Ram Slots A1/A2

Golex

I just finished putting together my first build and initially it wouldn't display video thanks to the q-55. After browsing around a bit I went with the usual suggestion and tried one stick of ram at a time. Fortunately, it worked and I could go to the BIOS and run everything normally. I managed to install the operating system and everything and got in running fine. The only problem was that only the two ram slots closest to the CPU would work. If I put in all four ram sticks I got hit with a q-55. Same goes for three. I managed to deduce which slots were giving me problems and it's the red/black ones furthest away. All the ram sticks should be good since I interchanged them just to be sure. Is there any way for me to fix this error?

Memory in question is Corsair XMS3 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory.

The only thing I can suggest is to reseat your CPU cooler as often this is the cause of misaligned pins.

If you set your working slots to XMP profile can you then use the other slots for dual channel?
