Computer won't boot in dual channel. Works fine in single channel.

hazy21
Every time I try to boot, I get no keyboard lights, no mouse lights, no display, and my fans just spin for approximately 1 minute until they power down in a cycle. I have two ram sticks they both work fine individually. Once I take one of the two rams out my pc boots fine. I enabled ram fast boot which allows me to post-boot and see that cpu-z detects my 16GB ram with all the correct information and it appears that one stick is dual channel while the other is single channel. System information still indicates 8GB ram. I wanted to try out modded bios to force enable xmp since I've read that enabling xmp somehow made dual channel work.
 
Befre You Ask:
No there are no bent cpu pins, yes I tried the ram slots individually as well with both stick of ram individually and together, yes I cleared cmos(with both rams inserted), yes I have the latest bios, yes I did memtest86 on both ram sticks individually no errors at all, and yes I tried to RMA but they argued that I had a single channel ram which in 99% of cases isn't a problem.
