Hi,
Do you remember me? I had a similar thread in the past. Not the same. Back then, one module was invisible, now all four are visible but not used.
So, for reminiscence. I have:
* ASUS ROG Strix X299-E Gaming
* Intel Core i7-7820X
I used:
* 4x RAM Crucial 16 GB DDR4-2133
Now I would like to use:
* 4x RAM Corsair 8 GB DDR4-3200; tag CMK32GX4M4B3200C16; timings 16-18-18-36
I use the clots A1 - D1 as recommended in the manual. Two problems with that:
* Even though all four modules are seen as sitting in the slots (BIOS), and also HWiNFO reports seeing 32 GB RAM; BIOS and Windows 10 only show 16 GB RAM available
* Clock seems stuck at 2133 MHz. I tried using Auto, XMP and setting clocks manually (clocks, voltage, frequency). It won't budge. If I set it at higher frequency, the boot up gets tuck at state 'bd' (photo below). Is that for 'bad'?
A curious thing. Every stick has reg number, say from *34 to *37. When I ordered them as:
* B1: 34; A1: 35; C1: 36; D1: 37 -- it saw 24 GB RAM, but with
* B1: 35; A1: 34; C1: 36; D1: 37 -- it sees 16 GB RAM
That is it in short. Can you help me on the journey to get these 32 GB to run? (thanks)

Hypothesis I: the MOBO is broken and cannot run RAM at more than 2133 MHz. I didn't notice it, because the previous RAM was 2133 MHz.
Hypothesis II: I missed something trivial, either when wiring up the MOBO or in the BIOS and it keeps the memory stuck at 2133 MHz. I did try loading the optimized defaults.
Hypothesis III: Somehow, I really need to find the right order of the RAM sticks. There are only 24 combinations #fml...
Hypohtesis IV: These sticks and the MOBO are just not compatible

Here is a curious situation:
---
This is the state at which the MOBO gets frozen. The lamp is at the orange color when this happens. I think I unfroze things when I agreed with the MOBO to keep the RAM at 2133 MHz.
