I just got a new board for an RMA but when I install my memory in a 16GB Quad configuration DIMM slots A1-D2, the red slots it only show memory installed in the BIOS but when windows 8 64 bit boots I only have 8GB total instead of 16GBs. If I install memory only in the A1-B2 DIMM slots I will get post code 53 invalid memory or incompatible memory frequency.
If I install the memory in the DIMM slots C1- D2 I can get 12GB to show in windows using D2, D1, C1 DIMM slots. It seems there is a problem when running a Quad channel configuration. Is it possible the IMC on my CPU is bad and will only run in dual & triple channel now?
Back to more troubleshooting, the memory kit is brand new Corsair Dominator 2133MHz and all modules work.
Still no luck I have tried different BIOS, different memory frequencies.
