Hi all. Hopefully there are some owners on here that can help me with this board. Basically, the system will not boot with 2 sticks of DDR3 in DIMM1 and DIMM2. I am using Corsair Dominator TW3X4G1600C9D (2x2GB).
The system boots fine with just one stick in DIMM1 OR with one stick each in DIMM1 and DIMM3 (single channel mode)

The QVL is here http://www.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1740.pdf
and my specific memory is not listed (although very similar variants are)

Are there any tips and tricks I can use to get this working or should I just send the memory back? I have the sticks running at 9-9-9-24-1T @ 1600Mhz(OC)
@ 1.9V.

I bought this board from someone on MM who assures me that he had it working ok with 8GB RAM - so it could point to a compatibility issue - although I don't know how it would boot - even in single channel mode - if this was the case. :confused: :(

Any ideas?
