RAM slots
Both RAM modules are functioning correctly. I verified each one separately and it started up properly.
Slots are marked with colors, pair identical colors for dual channel advantages. Options include 1 & 3 or 2 & 4—whatever suits you best.
However, I have two 8 GB RAM sticks. When I connect them in 1 and 3 or 2 and 4, the system doesn't recognize the memory. I haven’t tried using 3 and 4 yet, since I’m unsure if it would be safe for the computer.
