Hello, I noticed my two 8gb sticks of memory are not running in dual channel so i decided to swap one of the two to a different slot but when i try to turn on my pc it will just keep restarting and nothing shows up on the screen. i put everything back and everything is fine, but I'd like to get the dual channel.
 
Solution
Take just one stick and check it in every slot, if it boots or not. Since it seems both sticks work, any failure here means the slot is not working. Common cause for this are bent pins in CPU socket (or in CPU if AMD).
