Issues with single channel RAM?

Hey guys, first time posting here, so pretty cool I guess. Anyways, I've been having some issues with my 4GB sticks of RAM (I have 2, and they're 2400Mhz)

I don't know if it's an issue with my motherboard, but the system will only post if I put the ram sticks in the last 2 slots on the board, which worries me because I'm going to upgrade to 32GB in the future and it would suck if I had to get a completely new board just to upgrade my RAM.

 

Do you think the board is broken? I got it a month ago so I could easily RMA it but I want to be completely sure it's a problem with the board before I RMA it.

Thanks!

Try each stick individually in each slot. If you get no boot beyond the last 2 slots, then yes. RMA your board as it is defective.
