Hi professionals i really need help, this problem has been troubling me for weeks
Setup
Gigabyte x58a-ud3r = mobo
xfx 6970 2GB = gpu
i7 950 = cpu
Crosair Vengence 16GB ( 2x8GB )
Windows7 64GB = OS
!!!PROBLEM!!!
on system properties shows 16GB installed (8GB Usable), perfomance memory says 8GB reserved by hardware, bios shows 8GB memory ..
i have been facing problems with my computer after i installed my cpu cooler and my hardware keeps reading on my system properties at 16GB only (8gb usable). i have read alot on forums and i have yet to find a solution yet. i really need help T_T
things i have tried out
1) updated bios to latest version
2) resitted the ram ( initally i was using 3x2GB of ram and i was seated at slots 1 3 5 of my mobo ) and know i am using the 2x8GB i slotted on slots 1 and 3 which is according to my instruction manual. ( Previously i was sitting on 1 3 5 and the [3]slot is not working functionally)
3)i have checked the msconfig>advanced tab> and unchecked maximum memory
4)formatted my pc and all my hdds so that there is no reserved drive or anykind.
things i have yet to do and i dont know how
1) enabled memory mapping on my bios as i am not sure where i should set that option anybody can guide me for my bios version!! i read online but they didnt give much details
2) check of my mobo pins which i dunno how to
anybody out there can save me from my misery? other then having girlfriend problems for the week, my computer not working as well too!
