Look at the original post, again. The OP's account and the image of the Windows Properties dialog informs us that, repeatedly, all 24 gigs are being reported (physically counted) to Windows and 16 gigs are usable (available to Windows, per BIOS direction), to the precise byte. Assuming Windows was even bootable with it, a flaky memory controller would cause much more pain than this. I hope the OP will post the system's I/O map to help out here. I'll put money on a BIOS problem and the issue being reproduced with a new 980x, all other things remaining constant.he never said that. he said when he has the 980x CPU in the system, it will not report the full amount of ram, only some random percentage of it. when he puts in a 920 CPU in, the full 24 gigs shows up and is usable.
this sounds exactly like a faulty memory controller on the 980x.
