If you have any memory modules not lighting up or "stuck" in a certain lighting, please follow the instructions above and after Step #6, please open the software and click on the "Default" button on the bottom right. The lighting should reset back to the default rainbow wave.
If you are getting an error message about not being able to detect the memory modules, please make sure that 1) the motherboard BIOS is updated to the latest version, and 2) the memory modules are installed in the correct two slots. Alternate if needed. For example, try Slot 1+3 or Slot 2+4 combinations.
