Windows 10: P6X58D MOBO and memory problems

DDR 3 memory chips
I have 3 x 2 and 2 x8. I noticed that memory usage was redlining and process explorer was showing 6b, so the 2 x 8 were not being recognized. This is after several years of this config. I moved the memory around and it started showing 12GB of memory, but I began having problems with windows starting and lock ups. this has not happened in a LONG time. Pulled the 2 x 8 and now the pc is OK but it's slow. This setup needs



more than 6GB, it's just slow.
I have the 3 x 2 in a1 b1 c1. I have used the 2 x 8 before...where should they go according to the manual?

P6X58D Premium or ASUS Rampage III Formula

I'd of said the P6X58D but lately I've been annoyed by the weird ram stepping on it. I can do 1200/1600/2000, not the crap in between like 1400/1800.

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
