My Pc won't boot when using dual channel RAM.

[iRoyal]

I used to use my pc with dual channel RAM, but one day it decided to boot with only single channel memory. I checked both memory sticks and memory slots individually and all of them work very well, I tried plugging the memory sticks in 1-3 or 2-4 and the pc still won't boot.

RAM: HyperX Fury 2133Mhz 8gb
HyperX Fury 2666Mhz 8gb (It's fine to mix different Mhz Rams because the system will run both at 2133Mhz)

Motherboard: gigabyte z270 hd3p

What does the motherboard manual say abou enabling dual channel?

Go to gigabyte website and look up the ram qvl for your specific board, do a bios reset, then maybe an update. Check the lga pins for correct alignment, make sure cpu cooler is not warping the motherboard.

+0ne for the cooler warping the motherboard/CPU socket. Loosed the screws a bit and try again.

Did you reset the BIOS after putting the second stick in? I have my i7 3820 machine with mixed memory like this and it can sometimes act really funky if you don't.

One of your RAM slots might be faulty--not an uncommon thing at Gigabyte boards.. Remove all the RAM sticks except for one known good one (maybe test it in another machine). Then run MemTest 86+ moving the RAM from one slot to another. If everything is working well, i.e. all slots are working, you can rule out the slots.

Then, one of your RAM sticks might be faulty and you'll have to test them one by one, individually. That's it, IMHO.
