asus z97-ar and gskill 1600 ram issue

[elkido122]

i have 4 sticks of gskill ram.. 2 of them are 4x2gb and 2 are 2x2gb sticks.. no matter what slots i put the ram in only one slot will work and its with one 4gb stick. if i fill all the slots the computer turns on but no display. if i use dual slots a2 and b2 then it works once then i reboot computer and it wont boot and just stays rebooting... any suggestions thanks. btw lastest bios as well

Was your memory bought as kits, or as separate sticks? If it's the latter, make sure you run them at the highest timings of the lot. Given that you have two different sizes, you need to at least run them at the speed of the slowest kit. Other than that, is your BIOS up to date? Have you tested all of the memory sticks separately to see if they all work as they should?

bios is up to date.. yes I have used them all separately. for some reason though it wont work with all 4 in my system. right now I only have 8gb of the 12gb I have installed. they were purchased in two separate kits to make the 12gb. so like I said I bought one kit of 2x4gb and 2x2gb. both have 9-9-9-24 timing on them.
