My pc will not post when I try to run my ram in dual channel. Almost 2 years ago now I got some new ram for my pc so it wouldn’t be as sluggish, whenever I first got my pc it had a single 8 gig stick and I upgraded to two 16gb sticks and my mother board has 4 ram slots. However when I try to run it in dual channel it will not post and I have moved the sticks around in both dual channel configurations but still no post. The only way I can get the pc to post is if I have the sticks in the two far most right slots. I also tried to see if it would post if I put the sticks in the far most left slots however still no post and I’m trying to figure out what part needs to be replaced so could someone help me figure this out

That is the wrong RAM for your CPU and MB, Intel state here up to 2666MHz and if you have XMP enabled the RAM will get auto OCd past what the CPU can handle and the PC fall over.Originally posted by pandafam36
The reason why the RAM works in single channel is because it is only working at 50% of what it s capable of which at stock speed is normally 1066MHz.
Your MB specs here also states only RAM up to 2666MHz and any reference there to faster RAM such as 3200MHz means that it will work but only when manually OCd from 2133MHz to 2666MHz and 1.35V in the BIOS.Comment
