Right off the assembly line
Config:
CPU : Intel i5 3450
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H (rev. 1.0)
RAM : Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2x4GB (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9)
GPU : Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1GB
PSU : Corsair CMPSU-430CXV2UK 430 Watts PSU
Cabinet : Cooler Master Elite 311
HDD : WD 500GB
Optical Drive : LG
Monitor : Samsung S22B370H
Problem: I recently bought the above config and made it assembled at a local pc store. Everything works fine but I got problem with installing RAM into mobo. The mobo supports Dual Channel DIMM Memory and has 4 slots , hence to get dual channel, I installed the 2 RAM sticks into DDR3_1 & DDR3_2 slots of same color by following the manual provided with Mobo, but the system is not starting and making continuous beeping sounds. I tried other combination DDR3_3 & DDR3_4 slots of same color but still the problem exists. Finally as I have no choice, I installed them in DDR3_2 & DDR3_4 which are of different colors each, and the system started. As expected, CPU-Z was showing RAM as Single channel. I want the RAM to be Dual channel by installing them in DDR3_1 & DDR3_2.
Please help me in solving the problem. It should work fine but it isn't. The BIOS version is F4. Should I update the BIOS version?
Is there a problem with the Corsair Vengeance RAM or with the Mobo?
Does Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H support Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4GB (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9)?
