Problems with RAM

Hello, I've been trying to figure out a problem I have with my pc for a while now. I've tried a lot of different options but can't seem to find the reason why.

My specs are as following.

Intel Core i5 6600k

Corsair Vengance LPX 16 gb 2400 mhz
Asus maximus VIII Hero

Asus Strix GTX 1070 OC

Corsair RM750x

Cooler: Corsair h100i V2

 

The problem is following.
Whenever I put RAM in dim slot as ASUS tells me to do, It won't boot. The light from the motherboard is a yellow light. It's blinking a little bit before the QCode is stuck on BE, after a while it goes over to 55 (RAM not installed)

The pc boots and runs fine with 1 ram stick in B1.
I've also tried running XMP profile from the motherboard, aswell as updating BIOS to latest version. Nothing seem to work.
There was one moment when i managed to boot with both rams in as it should be. After trying to do a stability test in AIDA64 it quickly stopped. The message I got was: Hardware failure.
Soon after the pc Bluescreened.. (The boot was done without XMP Profile)
I tried rebooting the system but it would not post again.
So i'm now back to 1 ram stick, it's a shame seeing as i have 16 gb but can only use 1 stick.

 

Does anyone have a solution or something that will help?

Thanks for any answer.

Looks like a defective stick of memory. If you've confirmed that all the slots on the board are operating correctly, RMA the pack of memory.

check for bent socket pins.

they might cause memory channels to stop working.

The RAM works perfectly in another system I have.
So I'm not sure. It might be the motherboard after all.

is it on the motherboard qvl list? the particular kit,  anything that aint on qvl list isnt 100% guaranteed to run stable

 

qvl list should also show if some kits can only run in singlechannel mode, dual channel ect
