    Question Motherboard requires 2 ram sticks to boot and only shows half of the memory.

    Out of respect and to show appreciation for your efforts and time, I thought I update you guys on the situation, so I took the motherboard back and the technician confirmed it was faulty swapped for the exact same one again. Set everything up and bam I have 16GB, I'm not gonna install windows...

    Yeah correct might be bent CPU socket pins like people have mentioned, hopefully it's not some kind of incompatibility with the ram sticks and the board, this weekend I will take another trip and pick up the same board for an exchange, I will keep updated.

    Question Motherboard requires 2 ram sticks to boot and only shows half of the memory.

    I have tried every slot combination nothing really worked, when I put it in anything except A1 B2 or A2 B2 it doesn't boot at all and even if it's 1 stick still doesn't boot or even get to bios .

    Question Motherboard requires 2 ram sticks to boot and only shows half of the memory.

    Pressed the cmos button, did not remove the battery I pressed the button once for 10 seconds and multiple times, is there a certain way you have to do it?. I tried that, maybe the pins are damaged on the socket I'm gonna try get a replacement at least I will know if it's the motherboard or not.

    It won't even get to bios with a single stick of ram (either one) literally no signal.

    Question Motherboard requires 2 ram sticks to boot and only shows half of the memory.

    Tried it again, I left it ultra-loose nothing, tightened it nothing, tightened it just enough so that it's secure still nothing. I'm not saying you guys are wrong and I will reinstall windows too but I really doubt that will solve my problems, I have issues with booting also bios just beeps...

    Once again I appreciate that I will try that, may I ask what reason do you think the beeping noise is caused I think its to do with the same issue, can windows reinstall also cure bios beeping? :D

    Question Motherboard requires 2 ram sticks to boot and only shows half of the memory.

    I will give it a go but why is the bios not registering it if windows is having issues with it ? Shouldn't it show normal in bios, I'm gonna try give this one more go.

    Same pack yep, I'm gonna have to do so at some point (reinstall) but why is it causing issues in bios it also shows as 8GB? I tried that too, tightened and loosened and also changed thermal paste.

    Question Motherboard requires 2 ram sticks to boot and only shows half of the memory.

    I have tested each in all of the slots, I did reset cmos but only once, I just didn't want to constantly remove GPU for the battery, it's so strange, I can do it again if you'd like if there's like a certain way to do it? like do you want me to remove the ram then the battery then insert the ram...

    Question Motherboard requires 2 ram sticks to boot and only shows half of the memory.

    Bought together, they have like a weird label on them to say 16GB (2 X 8GB) despite only being 8GB each not 16GB, they worked fine in my old system I literally swapped out the dead motherboard, The LED on them works fine too, its really annoying I travelled all the way to pick a new one up to...

    Question Motherboard requires 2 ram sticks to boot and only shows half of the memory.

    That won't work because my bios beeps nonstop and monitor has no signal with 1 stick, with 2 stick it's the same except the beeping stops after a bit and actually boots up to windows 10. By the way, I didn't reinstall windows 10 it's from the old motherboard and works fine despite thinking it...

    Question Motherboard requires 2 ram sticks to boot and only shows half of the memory.

    Sorry what I meant was each individual ram is recognised on bios on the memory Z section on bios, I am running the test as we speak it's 2/4 so far and no errors so far I will let it run to 4 thanks again.
