   I had the same problem:
Mainbord Asrock Taichi x399
CPU: TR 1950X
RAM: GSkill Aegis 3200, 16GB, 2 bars

BIOS showed only one RAM slot populated, 8GB.

Then I tried a different RAM: Corsair Venegeance 16GB, 2 bars
Result: same problem (1 slot populated, 8GB only)

Then I tried another RAM: GSkill Flare 16GB, 2 bars
Result: same problem (1 slot populated, 8GB only)

Then I removed the CPU and re-installed it again (because I just read
this thread)
Result: 2 slots populated, 16GB. Finally!!

Thank you for your support! Re-installing the CPU seems to solve
the problem with the unpopulated ram slots.

	Indeed, an improperly seated CPU is almost always the issue with RAM detection on Threadripper systems. The CPU is just so large that the slightest uneven pressure can cause a corner to be lifted slightly causing poor/no connection of some of the pins.
