ASUS ROG Strix Z270F won't boot with more than 8gb RAM

Greetings.

I recently bought all the parts for a new computer and assembled it. After putting everything together, the computer doesn't boot, can't get into BIOS.
It refuses to boot if I use 2,3 or 4 sticks of 3200hz DDR4 RAM, however, it does boot and function normally if I use only one stick of RAM.
When it fails to boot with more than one stick, I get a red DRAM light on the motherboard.
Am I doing something wrong here? Do I need to update my BIOS or change settings in it? Any help would be appreciated.

Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z270F
Processor: Intel Core I7-7700
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080TI ROG Strix 11GB (not OC edition)
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 3200hz 4x8 (CMK32GX4M4B3200C16)
SSD: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 500GB
PSU: XPredator 650gm 650w

I checked the manufacturers list and I noticed that the RAM is not there, however very similiar ram is there.

Right, so I got another motherboard and everything boots like a charm.

Thanks for all the help, will RMA the broken motherboard when I can.
If you get the same problem, make sure to check all the cpu pins on the motherboard!
