On my motherboard, if I understand correctly, I am meant to have the RAM sticks installed in slots 1 and 3 or slots 2 and 4. Whenever I put both 8GB sticks in this configuration, I either get a blue screen or the PC doesn't boot. I have tried using each individual stick on its own in slot 1 or 2 and the system works fine, just with less RAM obviously.
Recently I tried installing both sticks of RAM into slots 1 and 2 (a non optimal configuration) and the PC, although failing to boot a few times, does seem to run fine and be stable.
I have tried updating my BIOS, reinstalling windows and playing around with XMP settings.
I have a friend coming over with some of his RAM this coming saturday to see if we have similar issues with his.
Is this likely to be an issue with the RAM itself or something else?
Here are my system specs:
CPU: Intel i7 7700k
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB
Motherboard: MSI Z270
RAM: 2 x 8GB
SSD: 256GB
HDD: 1TB
