Can't boot with just 1 memory stick

Hi! The problem is not exactly as the title says. Let's see:

This is my motherboard: GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0)

I have 12GB RAM (6x2GB) DDR3.

Since I'm getting BSOD I tried Memtest86+ with the whole 12GB (every stick placed) and I got like 20 errors in just one pass. Then I did the tests with each memory individually, placing them in the slot DDR3_1, and none of them showed any error. So I thought it could be my motherboard, maybe a slot could be faulty, BUT my computer won't boot if I place a stick in other slot other than DDR3_1 and DDR3_3. It only boots when I place the sticks with the combinations said in the manual ( https://www.manualslib.com/manual/452712/Gigabyte-Ga-X58a-Ud3r.html?page=16 ). So, I can't test each slot individually, because when I turn it on, it beeps with a sequence like a telephone ringing, then the computer resets, and beeps again, all in a loop.

Is there a way to boot placing just 1 stick in the other slots? I looked up in my BIOS but couldn't see anything, and I'm no expert...

Thank you!
