Hi, I’ve had an issue with my Asus Z97-A motherboard. After installing 16GB of RAM, I ended up with only two slots recognized. Even after resetting the CMOS and removing the battery, it didn’t work. I tried everything to get a signal from my monitors so I could boot into BIOS, but sometimes the computer would restart repeatedly with all four sticks. I checked each slot individually and found that only B1 and B2 were being recognized, even with all four sticks. I’m really stuck and have been trying for three days. Can someone help me figure out how to get all four slots working?

Check the original sticks' speed and compare with the new ones. Test each slot individually with one stick to determine compatibility.
