My Motherboard is a MSI-Z77A-GD65
My CPU is Intel® Core™ i5-3570K Pictures of my CPU pins:Here and Here
Windows 8.1 64bit

My Ram Sticks Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB 1600MHz DDR3
And
RipjawsX - F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL - G.SKILL DDR3

I mistook my original G.skill ram as 1600Mhz when is was actually 1866Mhz,so i bought a different kit by accident.

As the title says,My Motherboard Does Not detect any of my ram when i place it in Slot 1(The One nearest to my CPU),Slots 2-4 work fine with all the sticks.(So i ruled out the possibility of faulty ram sticks).

So far i am only able to boot perfectly with slots 2-4 with either G.skill Dual channel(2 & 4) and Kingston Savage(3)
Or
Kingston Savage(2&4) and G.skill(3)

When adding a ram into Slot 1 in either of these Combinations,The Motherboard Displays Code 55(No Beep to tell me no memory either,so i am at a loss here).
After pulling out the ram from Slot 1 and restarting a few times,BIOS tells me that Overclock Settings were Reset?(I Have Never touched the OC settings Before So im not sure what this is?)

So my question is,is my MOBO going bad?(i checked the CPU pins and nothing was off) or is the Ram slot 1 only usable with ram's that have the same timings?

TIA
