Yea thats one thing I changed too. I installed Mac OS with only 1 stick of RAM in the first slot. Then I tried to put in the other stick and haven't been able to boot into Mac OS. How do you go about changing the channels? This is through BIOS right?

I feel so dumb lol this is so basic I feel like. I've gotten everything else to work

What is your mobo? And how many RAM slots
 
Your memory needs to be in channels A1 + B1. The installer fails to boot without this. Resolved this same issue for me.

Thanks for the response...I'll try that and report back. Hopefully this works. The ASUS motherboard recommendations for running two sticks is definitely A2/B2 instead of A1/B1...not sure why.

Yes, I am not sure why either. My memory was recognized still by Mac OS X as 32 gb at 3000 MHZ and windows recognized it as well at the same speed. I have not switched it back to A2/B2 since it still functioning as dual channel at spec speeds. Still looking to resolve the onboard wifi/ bluetooth without having to buy a broadcom card.

ASUS 370-A Prime. It has 4 slots. I was advised on another forum to run a memtest and that passed all tests.

While I was in windows right before running the test, I checked task manager and saw that 2 out of 3 slots of DIMM are used but my motherboard has 4 slots? Would this indicate an issue with the motherboard? (see screenshot)

EDIT: I'm getting a new Mobo and CPU in by the end of the day. I'll see if that replacement solves my issues. It seems like I might have a mobo problem

That absolutely fixed my problem. Putting my RAM into A1/B1 fixed the issue of getting into the installer. I'm actually typing this response on High Sierra's Safari ... = D. Thanks again! I'm working on post-installing stuff now.
 
@danielmm1997, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard, CPU and iGPU or Graphics Card.
If you have a prebuilt computer enter make and model instead of motherboard (Mobo).

I have tried all the suggestions in this thread, including changing RAM channels. Sadly nothing worked. Anything else I could try? Been trying to install for two days now, this is harder then I thought it would be.

Thanks!! Literally spent hours trying to get past this same reboot issue... to think that the MOBO recommended A2/B2 RAM slot config would be the culprit is wild and frustrating ... I changed the RAM to A1/B1 per the suggestion and FINALLY got past the install reboot issue. Now on to select Language and hope for the best :)
