and the problem is, when i try to work with the last ram in the slot number 6, my window got restarted..
sometimes i got blue screen, etc.
but when i work with dual channel my computer work well.
i already updated the bios to the last version "f7" and after that "f8m" but nothing happens..
my Motherboard can detect the 6 gb.. but is not working properly, so much instability and
crashes.
Computer spects:
Intel i7 920 + V8 Coolermaster
EVGA GTX 570
CORSAIR TX850
SSD PHOENIX GSKILL 60 GB
Note: im using bios on default settings.
i tried with the default config and with XMP but the sistem got crash starting the bios.. all the time..
when i connect the third ram slot the leds close to the RAM DIMMS.. turn RED and yellow..
and when i use just 2-4 turn Green and works without any problem.
what can i do? the motherboard is new..

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.
I would say that you have one of two problems. I assume that these modules were bought as a matched kit of three and that they are listed as compatible with this motherboard on the G-Skill QVL ? I also assume that you have the latest BIOS version installed ?
Either one or more of the pins in the CPU socket are bent or the auto settings are not working for this memory.
I would check the settings first as it is the easiest. Go into the BIOS and manually enter the timings and voltage for the RAM. It is usually marked on the side of the sticks or the box they came in.
