And I only tried installing all 3 modules in the order mentioned above so that I could see if the board would pickup all three modules, which it did, but it was only running in dual channel...

When I tried running 3 modules in the correct order (all sticks installed in the white slots!) the mobo only seen 2 out of 3 sticks... this was the same with both sets of RAM...

Which slot do you class as DDR3 1??

I class the first white slot as DDR3 1, or at least thats what the mobo manual says...

::edit::

Also, yes all modules have been tested with memtest+86 boot disc, 1 set at a time, and also tested each stick indivdually and they are all fine...
I just post it since you seems struggle putting the ram in the slot. Nothing special.
Like I said maybe the board is no good because you got no post when you put single stick in the white slot near the cpu socket.
When I first got my board I only use single stick for some time at the same 1st white slot and it works fine. So it probably the board since you already know you got a working cpu and ram.
Ask them to put/test only one stick on the first white ram slot like you did. If they said it post ; something might be fishy or wrong since you already tried it with 2 different set of RAM.
