Hi all,
I am hitting a problem with a ram upgrade for my computer. Recently I decided to upgrade from 6gb to 12 gb of ram. I went and ordered a second 6gb kit of the same make/model/manufacturer as my initial kit. After install of the new ram sticks and boot up, it recognizes the install but windows says only 6 of the 12 gb is usable.
I've checked to make sure all sticks of ram are snugly mounted, doesn't seem to be a problem there.
I am on win7 64bit ultimate, Gigabyte ud4p mobo on bios F13, i7 920 CPU. No overclock currently in place.
I've tried going to msconfig and resetting the max ram and it didn't help. I've been tinkering with bios settings to see if the problem is there but haven't had any success.
Any thoughts? The mobo and OS should support this change with no problems and I've never had a problem upgrading ram before so I am a bit confused.
