update 1
your motherboard ram support page actually indicates
it MAY support 4 double sided sticks at 1600
http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/870%20Extreme3%20R2.0/#Memory

i would advise checking 1333 first and if so then try 1600

i still think 1833 is the problem with the 4 sticks and 32 gb

can you not return the hyperx and just get one set of matching ripjaws ?

i have the same set of hyperx here in a phenom 965 system
(and im really not impressed by them, i know they wont run 1866 on phenom but then they also wont run at phenom2 speeds without major tweaking)

however there is another scrap of info i have just chanced upon
with a fx6100 and 4 ram slots occupied max ram speed is 1600 for single sided ram and 1333 for dual sided ram

humour me if you please
boot the system with just two hyperz sticks
check its running at 1833
next enter bios change ram speed to default OR SET 1333
then instal the 4 sticks of hyper and see if it boots then when they are downclocked

heres the link with the graph as first post and the rest of replies generally agreeing the memory controller is struggling

Lemme guess. They work as a pair when they are paired by serial number?

Yeah, sorry, should have mentioned that I've done that, allthough I checked them as pairs. Both pairs showed up as 16Gb.
Also checked the slots to see if A or B were defective. All ok.

Hi

I just got 2 pairs of 2x8GB Kingston Hyperx Fury 1866MHz sticks and wanted to occupy all 4 DDR3 slots on my motherboard for 32GB.  I have the latest BIOS but it won't boot at all with all 4 sticks in place.  
The old ram, 2x4GB GSkill Ripjaws @ 1600Mhz, will run alongside two of the 8GB sticks for a total of 24GB, but I'd much rather not mismatch ram. 

Anyone know why it's not able to boot with all 4 sticks?  The specs say it should support 32GB with the AMD FX6100 that is installed.  I have Win 7 Pro 64 bit. 

Thanks!
