I recently purchased an asrock z77 extreme4 m motherboard for my i5 2500k and everything went well, almost. The computer will not boot with dual channel ram setup. I can boot with one stick or with two sticks not in dual channel.

I updated the bios and still nothing.

Any ideas or should I RMA it?

Have you checked each and every RAM slot by running a single stick by itself in it? It would be best to do that for each stick (i.e. test stick A in slots 1,2,3, and 4; then stick B in slots 1,2,3, and 4). That way you may be able to isolate if it's a motherboard RAM slot problem or a problem with one of the sticks of RAM.

Have checked all of the above, thanks for the suggestion. It didn't seem to help -still would only work in single channel- so I am having Amazon send me another out.

After reading a bit more it seems that I am not the only one who has had this issue with this motherboard. Hopefully a new one will set me up right!

Just wanted to say that it does seem to have been the motherboard. Amazon sent me another out (wooot 1 day shipping) and I just got it all together. Dual channel is working great!

Now its just time to find the Samsung ram in stock somewhere!

Glad to hear that things are sorted out now. Good luck!
