Ahh you got a bad dimm slot. You'll need to send your board back. Take one of the good sticks and test each slot to figure out which slot is bad. It probally won't even post in the bad dimm slot.
Happened with my Asus P5n32 SLI Premium board. Still havn't RMA'd it but it works fine with 1 stick of ram in one slot. The rest of the slots it won't even post because the boards dimm slots are bad.
Also if your wondering why I have not RMA'd my board even though its still under warranty. Ha ya there bs warranty. Heres a sample of what I got when I inquired about my RMA. What a joke the whole point of a warranty is so you don't have to pay WTF is this?
