I envision two possibilities
1) it may not run quad channel without the same capacity installed in every channel
2) you've installed the dimms into the wrong slots for quad channel

The motherboard manual has a nice little diagram showing you how to install the memory for best results. If you have all 4 sticks together, you're doing it wrong.
