Does this mean it's only picking up one of my 2x8gb sticks?

You were right! I'm going to go about testing the sticks and slots now. Thanks - will get back to you all.

You guys were right! Thanks for all your help.

So:

Stick 1 in A2: boot
Stick 1 in B2: boot
Stick 2 in A2: no post
Stick 2 in B2: no post

So Stick 2 of RAM is faulty and the slots/mobo are fine right?

Unfortunately I can't find the RAM internal packaging (the plastic bit the sticks sit in). I still have the outer card case. Can I still get an RMA from Corsair for the RAM? Bought them 17/5/2017

kebl3739, I think so! I would suggest that you test A1 and B1 with the good stick while you are here.  I think you need to talk to Corsair about the RMA, but I suspect it will be OK.  Always glad to help when I can.  Good luck and enjoy, John.

Hi everyone,
So i have gone through every step here as well and everything is the same except for the amount of ram that is off line. Mine shows no ram offline its at 15.9 and it is still running in single channel mode.

Thanks for your help in advanced. also if it does help i will go through and provide the same screen shots?

Are all 4 sticks from a Quad Channel Kit or are they two separate Dual Channel Kits?
