Desperate on MSI Z270 vs RAM

Hello guy's,

I have some trouble with my new updated gear.. i'm fighting and searching for the solution for days. I have bought a new motherboard, RAM, CPU and cooler, assuming that it would be working after some research. Also did a fresh install for Win10. Now... I have alternating between 2 major problems;

1 -> Pc is working without issues with 1x 8gb RAM. When adding a second RAM, it does fire but gives no signal to my monitor (slot 1 and 3)(and no DRAM led showing). I have been alternating and checking each slot with a individually RAM and it boots perfectly, turned out that it isn't a RAM problem (I guess). However, when It does succeed to boot with 2 ram sticks...(slot 1 and 3) I am having blue screens of windows with the NTOSKRLN.EXE error. I have searched for the solution on this forum and youtube but no success. Also did a re-install of windows 10, no success.

2-> Whenever the pc did booted on 2 RAM sticks and I cut the power supply for about 30min, it is only going to boot for a second and then shuts-down.. repaids indefinite. Luckily I still had the battery of my old motherbord and that problem ''seemed'' to be away.

I did already contact MSI, they think it is not a hardware problem. The store were I bought this gear tellend me to RMA the RAM, but I am sure not convinced that the problem is coming from the RAM.

I did do and checked:
-> CMOS
-> Bios updated
-> Set the correct timings and voltage of RAM within bios, mobo refuses to boot and set it to default again.
-> CPU check (with loosing the screws) (attached pictures)
-> Cleaned the RAM
-> Switched battery

Solution
you can have a bad stick of ram it has happened before. on the newer intel mb if there a bent pin or damage on the cpu or paste on the cpu pin or if the cpu cooler on to tight you can have memory issues. the memory controller is now built into the intel cpu chip. if the rig is working run the intel cpu test make sure it passes. i would return the cpu/ram and mb let those vensos find out if there parts are good or not.
I think the store where you bought the parts may be correct, the problem is with the RAM. On this motherboard any RAM speed above 2400MHz is an overclock. Try setting your RAM to 2400MHz and if it runs stable, then you can try boosting it to 2600MHz or 2800MHz, later on.
