Hello, I just completed my pc build and I'm having memory issues. I have 2 sticks of hyperx 8gb 1866 ram and when I plug one in by itself everything works hunky dory but when I try to plug both in I don't even get a bios screen and the only light that flashes is the cpu led then the dram led then there are no more flashes of the other led's. This also happens when I try just the one "bad" stick. I read that is the memOK led flashes the memory is fine but it's weird that this only happened with one of my sticks. It sounds like a bad stick of ram to me so I can just return it but I just wanted to make sure there isn't something that I can try to fix it. I'm using a Asus Z97a Moro.

Model number :HX318C10FWK2/16 and yes they came as a package with 2 sticks. Intel 4790k cpu and I do indeed have the latest bios and mobo drivers.

I can't get into the bios with the bad stick. The cpu led and the dram led flash but that's it. Also no beeps. It seems to just power cycle a couple seconds after the dram led cones on.
