I'm a bit frazzled.
I'm using an Asus Z87 Gryphon with an i7-4770K. The ram is 4X 8GB 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance CMZ32GX3M4X1600C10.
I have worked with Asus, Corsair, and Intel explaining the issue and have RMA'd all three parts and am still getting the same issue.
When using ANY stick of ram in ANY combination in A1 and A2 the computer works fine. I can use 1 or 2. All 4 sticks have been tested alone and in a pair. If slots B1 and B2 are used in any combination or by themselves the computer starts with the red dram error LED.
This hasn't always been the case, the computer recognized 32GB and worked fine for a while. I can't remember when it stopped working or why. I do know that I've removed the Graphics card and any connected USB devices and the same thing happens.
ASUS swears that the board I sent in was fine. They say that it is a "synchronization" issue with the ram. Of course, Corsair swears that this is extremely unlikely given that they've also replaced the ram. Corsair also says as it's an approved ram for this mobo that there shouldn't be any issues at all. The CPU is new and was just installed so there aren't any bent pin issues.
I'm trying to think of any other relevant info.

- I do have to use XMP mode to make the mobo realize the sticks are 1600 and not 1333.
- I have tried disabling XMP mode and manually setting the speeds to 1333 as this was recommended. This gives a slightly different result, instead of a dram error light, the computer will just cycle every second, on and off.
- I've tried fiddling with random settings in Bios, but nothing that worked or seemed significant.
