Hi, my mobo which is a msi 990fxa gaming mobo is delivering today and I have 4 sticks of 4gb of ram. Now I hear that I'm some cases that the mobo won't boot with all the ram slots full. So does that mean I should boot it on with 2 sticks then after fill up the other 2 slots?
 
Solution
No, never change anything while it's under the power. If you must, reset BIOS, boot with two and raise voltage, after you shut it down, start again with all 4 and see what happens.
