Hi fellow Gamers,

I've got a ASUS Rampage Edition V motherboard with a Intel 6850k. I had some Corsair DDR4 Ram for a few months there, but decided to upgrade to the Corsair Dominator DDR4 RAM(CMD32GX4M4A2666C15). I've installed it, but appear that no matter what combination of sticks i go with for the RAM, I only get 3 out of 4 sticks.

The sticks have LEDs on top, all of which are turned on. The motherboard tells me which stick is missing, but when i remove it, and swap it with a working one, the one that was previously working stops responding.

This has happened on Slot B1, C1, and D1 on the board. Does anyone have any ideas?

Mike

What you might want to try is manually downclock all the RAM slots in the BIOS. There should be a preset for a lower speed for each slot. If this works and suddenly all 4 are working then it that just means it just can't handle the higher clock speeds on all 4 slots at once.
