Issue with RAM

Hi, I have an issue with my new PC. It appears that only one of four RAM slots is working. My computer boots only when one RAM stick is in slot B1. I've tried many different solutions, including using different RAM kit, but nothing works. BIOS keeps showing me message that I should change a slot from B1 to A2, if I want to use my memory in single-channel, but when I do so, my pc doesn't boot.

What hardware are you using?
What's motherboard/RAM modules vendor and what's CPU generation?

I've also tried some OEM RAM kit with memory chips from Samsung
