Completed a fresh installation from the ground up, but it's behaving oddly. The board will show both RAM sticks if they fit in the A2 slot, confirming they're functional. If placed correctly in A2/B2, it lights up and shows BIOS info without any issues. I've run it for over 30 minutes just to be safe, following the advice about training DDR5 RAM. The same occurs when they go into A1/B1 or A1/A2. In those cases, the board attempts to load BIOS but flags the slots as incorrect and displays nothing. Despite this, it still recognizes both sticks and shows output. It's stuck running single-channel memory. I've updated the BIOS via Gigabytes and installed all required updates from the control center. Any tips would be greatly appreciated—this is frustrating, and I don't want to waste time trying fixes without a clear path.
