Hello, I own an A68HM-PLUS motherboard (BIOS version 1701 which is the latest I believe,) with a pair of Kingston 1600 MHz DDR3 DIMM Ram sticks. However, there is a 1/20 chance that whenever I boot up I actually have the full 8 gb usuable (apart from 50 megabytes or so dedicated to "hardware" but i'm not fussed over that) and most times my task manager performance tab just comes up with 3.9gb usable with 4.1 gb hardware reserved. My BIOS detects the 2 ram sticks and displays them but only says that it only has 4GB of memory.
If needed, here is the rest of my specs:
GTX 770 2GB VRAM
A10 - 7860K CPU
I hear on other forums that it takes up 4.1gb for my internal GPU, which i do have alongside my primary one. Please help me, I do not know how to fix this issue, i've tried switching the two ram sticks around, inserting new ones into there and resetting the bios via the Cmons battery. Not even tweaking around the BIOS works.
Also, I did memcheck tests and the Windows Memory Diagnostics tests, both of which came up with nothing.
Another thing I saw was that when I used only one stick (4gb, i did change them around,) it only worked on one of the slots, if i placed it in the other slot the PC wouldn't even launch. I fear that it may be a motherboard issue.
