HELP!!!

Just finished my system, but for whatever reason it fails to boot in Triple Channel or Quad Channel memory mode (by fail to boot... no picture, just turn on for 10 seconds, off, back on, cycle

I have 4 sticks of this stuff Mushkin Enhanced Silverline Stiletto 16GB 4X4GB PC3-10666 DDR3-1333 9-9-9-28 Quad Channel Memory Kit - Mushkin Enhanced - 993770

Put into slots 1,3,5,7 (per MB instructions), no boot, just turns on for 10 seconds and shuts off.

Put into slots 1,3 (just 2 sticks - dual channel setup), boot perfect
Put into slots 1,3,5 (MB instructions for triple channel), no boot, same as above

Put into slots 1,2,3,4 (dual channel setup), boots fine.

Put into slots 1,5 (dual) boots fine

I'm thinking faulty MB? In compatible/faulty RAM?

CPU: 3930K
MB: MSI X79A-GD45 (8D) MSI X79A-GD45 (8D) X79 ATX LGA2011 DDR3 5PCI-E16 1PCI-E1 SATA3 USB3.0 SLI CrossFireX Motherboard - MSI/MicroStar - X79A-GD45 (8D)
Edit: Updated BIOS to latest version - still a no-go
