When using Dual Channel RAM it won't start up. (I've explained all the attempts I made!)
The issue appears to be related to dual-channel configuration. Despite confirming the RAM is compatible and functioning normally, it fails to boot when using dual channels. The system shows a static yellow light indicating a RAM problem. Several attempts were made with different RAM slots and configurations, but the motherboard still refuses to load properly. It seems the RAM may not be communicating correctly or there could be a compatibility issue. Consider reaching out to Asus support for further assistance or exploring alternative solutions such as updating BIOS or testing with another RAM stick.
It looks like the A-channel isn't responding fully. This could be because of poor contact between the CPU and motherboard, or a problem with the mainboard itself. Make sure the socket is clean and the pins are intact. Also verify the CPU is in good condition and consider clearing the CMOS. If these steps don’t help, you may need to return for a replacement part.
The issue likely lies with the motherboard instead of the processor.
