ASRock Z790 PG Sonic Memory Issue

   The memory controler, is integrated in the CPU, it is not on the board, and there is a direct link between pins in the socket, and contacts in the memory slots.
When using multiple modules, always buy them in a kit, in this case a kit of 4, this means all the chips, come from the same production batch, and are identical.
With a freeware program like thaipoon burner, You can view the content of the SPD chips on the module, and check if brand, model, and production date are the same.
If all 4 slots work, when You test them individually with 1 module, it would indicate all slots are okay

	I've been building a PC with an ASRock motherboard, the Z790 PG Sonic and it's been a nightmare. I assembled everything and it simply does not boot. The lights on the motherboard indicate that there's a problem with the RAM. So I took that out and tried one stick at a time (I have 4 16gb sticks for a total of 64GB) It turns out that every stick individually works fine and it will start up and put me in the BIOS, if it's only that stick installed. Any more and it fails to boot entirely. It doesn't seem to matter which sticks, whether it's dual channel or not, it just will not boot if there's more than one stick.
