Please help, memory issues

[Redcamgray]

Thank you in advance for the help guys and Gals.

 

System: 

I5-2500k

Asus Macimus IV Gene Z 

Corsair Vengeance 16gb (CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9)

Evga BR 450W

GTX 1050 

 

Problem: 

on main Bios screen it is only showing 8gb ram when i drill down it shows all 4 dim slots populated 

in windows resource manager it only shows 8gb installed 

in CPU-Z it shows 16gb installed 

When i choose XMP profile in bios it refuses to boot and throws error code 59

 

I have checked to make sure memory is seated  properly, i have also updated bios to newest windows 8 version .

 

Please any help would be great.

I would try unplugging the sticks one by one and seeing which two sticks aren't registering. If the two that aren't showing up are in matching colored slots (A1, B1 or A2, B2) it's possible you have a dead RAM channel which could mean a bad motherboard or bad CPU.

Very good point. Might want to check the socket too, make sure that bent pins are a damaged or dirty LGA is the culprit
