I have just built a PC and when i tried starting it for the first time it got stuck in a boot loop. After some troubleshooting i came to the conclusion that the problem was when i had 2 RAM sticks inserted. The pc works fine with only 1 stick placed anywhere no matter which stick, but not with 2 no matter how i place them. I have a MSI SLI krait edition z97 and hyperX Fury 1600Mhz 8x2 memory.
Dual Channel Ram not working?

Were the sticks bought in a single package - or are these individual packaged sticks. If individual, then start with 1 in slot 1, go into BIOS and raise the DRAM voltage to 1.55, save, exit, shutdown and add the second stick in slot 3 and try - if no joy, try in slot 2 and let us know what happens
They were bought as a package. I have tested each stick individually and both works, alone. I have also tried different setting 1 stick in dimm 1, then dimm two etc. all dimms work, and both sticks work... thats why im so confused. But i will try the voltage trick tonight.

Memtest86 would help you figure out a bad slot, as well as a bad stick. Guess the site was too complicated for you that you had to downrate me huh? Maybe you dislike reading and comprehension? Ok. Don't downrate someone just because you don't like a helpful answer. I'm done helping you. Good luck.
