On my way to office now.
Suppose it shows single channel on BIOS, then what to do?
System memory in BIOS is 16384MB.

Read the motherboard pdf manual to see how to install/configure ram in dual channel mode & once dual channel ram status shows in bios then you can again try the boot advanced settings max memory option.

Inside BIOS I couldn't ascertain whether RAM is running under DUAL CHANNEL mode.

Install CPU-Z
and check like this

Slot 1 and Slot 2 are in Dual mode as per Ranks.

But 3 and 4 are in single mode.

Does that mean,the RAM modules are damaged???????

 

[Zangetsu]

Swap the 3 & 4 with 1 & 2

for dual channel it should be slots with same color. A1 - A2 - B1 - B2 (A1-B1/A2-B2 for Dual Channel)

But as your are already using all 4 slots with Same RAM module then it doesn't matter about slot selection for Dual Channel.

When did you bought those 4*4gb ram sticks because seeing your post it seems like you didn't have 16gb ram from the beginning & bought other ram sticks later/at different times?

All are Corsair Value RAM's with equal clock speed. DDR3 type obviously.

Can you test the RAM(s) in other desktop PC. Also, try another set of RAM from friend and test it in your motherboard.

Could be an issue with RAM slot(s) or RAM modules.

Tested the RAM modules on another PC already.They are working NORMALLY.

 

[kg11sgbg]

May be with RAM modules.
This motherboard was purchased on 2013,I suppose or 2016.
Just Forgot it.

 

[Zangetsu]

Seems like issue with RAM slot(s)

What is the solution?

 

[K_akash_i]

What is the solution?

if the slot is the problem , most likely mobo replacement iirc , if its just one slot/2 u should sell the 4gigs *4 and buy 2 *8gigs of ddr4 if the mobo permits it (which will be beneficiary if u plan on upgrading near future)

 

[Zangetsu]

Replace the mobo or else show it to chip level repair technician who can probably fix it.

DDR3 memory slots!!!

 

[K_akash_i]

DDR3 memory slots!!!

fix the mobo if thats possible/replace, after confirming its a mobo problem. i think thats about it.

 

[whitestar_999]

What is the solution?

Use the 12gb/3 ram sticks combination which is working & sell remaining 4gb ram stick on olx or try your luck by testing various combinations of ram sticks & ram slots after cleaning the ram slots(read/watch some online articles but don't use any liquid cleaning solution without confirming here first).

 

[sling-shot]

Iff you are suspecting RAM slots issue, have you tried cleaning them with isopropyl alcohol first?
