Check voltages to everything, then start giving things more juice
Try different RAM
I have the exact same problem as you with one of my rigs which is running a 4770k on an Asus Crosshair mobo and Corsair Vengeance red 4x8gb 2400 memory.
Initially this worked great for more than a year, then i dropped something on the rig (can't remember what it was.. pencil holder maybe but was relatively heavy) and since then, the computer no longer posts with an error code of D6 and the DRAM light on the mobo. Tried everything from reseating CPU, checking for damaged contacts between the CPU and memory slots, trying different ram slots, updating bios, resetting bios to defaults etc etc... and nothing would work.. only adding ram into slot 3 and 4 would work but thats no use.
With a lot of head scratching and prodding, the computer managed to boot with memory in slot 2 and 4, and since then just left it as is. If i had different sticks of memory i could test if that was the culprit.
Maybe you've got a similar problem?
have you tried clearing the cmos. also are the 4 ram sticks all from the same pack. i.e. you brought all four as my kit?

Arent they supposed to boot in A2 and B2 for dual channel?No banana. Tried some new 3600mhz 2x16gb sticks. Fine in slot B1 and B2. Anything in slots A1 or A2 and no boot. Just sat there.

There is literally nothing left for me to check now.... Makes no sense at all.
Just checking but you have tried it built outside the case (to rule out a bent motherboard or a short?)

Were they by the same manufacturer - Corsair Vengeance? or throwing a completely different name out liek GSkill for example?
I wasn't sure if this 'problem' only happened on Asus boards as there are plenty of threads on Google regarding this issue, but i guess not, since you are running an MSI, therefore could it be the type of memory used... given this issue is happening using Corsair Vengeance.. both of which we are running on
Have you re built the system outside of the case?
As in take everything apart, including the mounting system, the rebuild from scratch outside the case.
I’d even take cmos battery out to reset Bios then setup from minimum system until it stops working or works fine at stock.
On my system, XMP profile 1 will immediately cause my system to fail to Post with red ram led, with 2 sticks.
