Odd. Single Rank or Dual Rank doesn't behave like this.

Are you certain you didn't have one stick, which is all it takes, not seated properly/fully? For all you've described, that's all I can imagine. One stick not seated will disable the other stick on that same channel, leaving only half shown.

I Unchecked all , tried these fixes but still doing the same thing. 

reading the 970A-G3.1 manual i found something that worth a try :

Cool 'n' QuietUse this item to enable or disable AMD?�s Cool ?�n??QuietTM technology. The defaultvalue is [Enabled]. Configuration options: [Enabled] and [Disabled]. If you installWindows® 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7 and want to enable this function, please set this item to[Enabled]. Please note that enabling this function may reduce CPU voltage andmemory frequency, and lead to system stability or compatibility issue with somememory modules or power supplies. Please set this item to [Disable] if above issueoccurs.

Gonna try it at home today
