Is This Me Being Dumb Or Is It Broken?

So i bought a z68 EVGA FTW mobo about a month ago from overclockers and since day one i have had nothing but problems, i cant get it to run ram in dual channel it just fails to boot, i have tested each ram stick and every slot but it only does it when the ram is in dual channel, i have also decided to fit my black magic intesity pro but it doesnt get picked up by any of the pci slots, also if i put my gpu into any other slot to see if it will work in the top slot, nope as now gpu wont give me a display, so in all my efforts i have gone back to 8gb of ram in single channel and had to do without my black magic and sound card.

So has anyone else got this mobo and had these problems, is it me being dumb or is this thing broken?

Any help would be great as its looking like a expensive bit of plastic atm.

Thanks, sorry for this being so long.

Have you tried using one ram module at a time?

each ram stick in each slot suggests 1 has been tested at each time i guess.

try the mobo manufacturers website or forum for compatability issues and bios updates.

but seems like u have 3 issues there to much to be a concidence

i would rma tbh but get on phone first they r pretty good bout these things

Sounds like RMA time to me.
