Asrock Z77 Extreme4 Ram Slots

Dual Channel Memory not working on my ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Hi all, I've been running low on RAM on my PC (build here) using Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, and I've been trying to upgrade my RAM by adding two new sticks of the same kind of RAM. ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) - EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB HYBRID - Seagate Desktop HDD ST1000DM003 1TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5' Internal Hard Drive.
Hello Everyone,
Guess I'll start with...I've purchased the Z77 Extreme4 on 11/28/2013 and 4 G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series (F3-17000CL9D) along with various other components.
Recently, I've upgraded my GPU to the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB HYBRID up from the GeForce GTX 660 2GB. Before the install, I was registering 16GBytes of the G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series, now my Geforce Experience and System are only showing 8GBytes of installed memory.
I've gone into my Bios and noticed it shows there as well 'Total Memory 8192MB'. Also that DDR3_A1 and B1 show ':NONE'. In 'System Browser' it shows all 4 sticks registered though. Also in CPUID, it shows 16GBytes registered.
All actions taken thus far...
- Before opening my tower and handling the memory sticks, I utilized Windows' built-in memory diagnostic tool to check my RAM ?嚙練dsched.exe?? No issues detected.
- Removed all ram sticks and inserted, one at a time, each mem stick into each slot on the mobo, beginning with slot 1 and moving over to the adjacent slot with each power cycle. I've done this with each stick individually. No boot errors with any stick in any slot.
My UEFI Version is P2.90
My current rig setup... If you don't mind me copying and pasting.
