Just as the title says, I cannot use two memory sticks at the same time. This problem occurred for the first time today. I woke up, pressed the power button and the PC was starting for like 5 seconds then shutting down. I searched online for solutions and someone said to try removing one memory stick at a time. I removed one and the PC booted. I replaced the one that was still in the PC with the one that I removed and it worked. At this point I was a little confused so I tried them both again in multiple combinations (slot 1 and 2, 1 & 3, 1 & 4, 2 & 3, 2 & 4, 3 & 4) and none worked. What could cause this?

Here are my specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K

RAM: Two 4GB DDR3 sticks

Motherboard: Gigabyte B85-HD3

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660

Storage: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB

Weird thing is that I just bought the motherboard 3 days ago so I doubt that it's broken. I also noticed some weird beeping in my computer when I open a program (like Chrome).
