I can't get Win7 Ultimate or my MOBO to recognize 16GB I have installed.
They are recognizing 8GB.

This is my MOBO - GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

This is my RAM-G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL

What do I need to do next?
I have tried reseating but no luck.
I had 2 4gb working & later ordered identical pair but can't get them working.

LMAO. Basic math fail by OP.
 
Haha sorry but that is pretty funny. It's all good OP, we all have cluster-fucks from time to time.
 
Yes, I just tried reseating them again :) Don't know why I had 4gb in my head. Guess I was living in my own little world of confusion lol.
Thanks for bringing me back...... & to the realization of the obvious.

At least everything is working as it should.
