Hi, i just built a new rig. The motherboard is a Z170A MSI Titanium edition and the ram sticks are 4 8gb XPG adata DDR4 2800(17) 8GX16 sticks... if I install all 4, the computer wont boot, no screen... all fans working... if I remove 2 of them.. the computer boots up fine... any idea what could be the issue?
 
Solution
Yes, 4 total - how many packages of DRAM were used? If they all were not packaed together in a 4x8GB set they may not be fully compatible - DRAM in a single package is tested to ensure all play nice. With2 or more packages of sticks there are no garantees
