I've been searching for solutions to this problem and found out that I'm not the only one. Another board member here named Stephen seems to have the same issue as well.
Here's a description to the problem; The instruction manual says that, in order to set up triple channel configuration for the system memory, three sticks have to be used on the blue slots. (1, 3 and 5.) When this is done, the system starts, but the motherboard refuses to initialize at all, with nothing displayed on the monitor. Upon checking the debug LED mounted on the motherboard, it displays the code "69", which doesn't help much since the instruction manual does not have any of the debug LED codes listed. (The list on the instruction manual are for POST menu.)
Now, when the RAM sticks are plugged into the white slots, (2, 4 and 6) the system works flawlessly.
I've contacted Gigabyte support via e-mail with thorough details, but it seems that they have no idea about the issue, and keeps suggesting that I turn in the entire board for RMA. But, honestly, considering the fact that the board is already solidly screwed to the case, not to mention that I have LCS tubes running all over inside the case, the idea of taking the thing out for what could be either the faulty RAM sticks or simple typo on the instruction manual doesn't appeal to me.
Has anyone else have had this type of problem and manage to figure out an answer to what's causing it?
