Hey guys I have been having a problem as of late. about a week ago I looked in my system settings and noticed that it said i have 8GB of ram and only 3.9 usable.
After looking up the issue I found a lot of articles on the matter however none of the solutions worked for me. I am not a huge tech guy but here is the relevant information I found.
I have 2x4GB of ram installed
AMD FX-8350 processor 8 cores
mother board m5a99fx_pro_r20
I copied down all information I found relevant as follows
CPU
Type-------------------------AMD FX8350 8-core
Clock------------------------4014MHZ(Turbo 4044.6MHZ)
Temp------------------------25C
# logic processors--------8
L1 cashe--------------------8x80k(36119 MB/s)
L2 cashe-------------------8x2048K (25408 MB/s)
L3 cashe-------------------1x8192K (10163 MB/s)
Memory
Total Physical Memory---4056M (5892MB/s)
Mem Latency---------------60.200NS
ECC Enabled---------------No
Detailed Ram SPD info
1 PC3-14900 DDR3 XMP1866MHZ/9-10-9-28/G Skill INTL F3-14900CL
2 PC3-14900 DDR3 XMP1866MHZ/9-10-9-28/G Skill INTL F3-14900CL
[strike]I still have MEMTEST open at home so if there is anything else useful i should copy down just tell me to grab it.[/strike]
What I have tried
Checking and unchecking the max memory box in MSCONFIG
Replacing the RAM sticks
Replacing the RAM sticks one at a time (they both worked
A1 and A2 Slots and B1 and B2 slots
Setting Default settings in BIOS
In BIOS the it also says i only have 4 GB of memory however when looking closer it sees dimm 1 and 3 are being used.
If you need any other info feel free to ask.
UPDATE
Okay guys big update to the issue here so bear with me.
First we tried loosening the heat sink and that got the pc up 7.42 GB out of 8.
Since I am getting more ram in a month I had my friend bring his 16GB of ram.
We plugged 2 more 4GB sticks into the other two slots and that for some ungodly reason brought it up-to 7.9 GB out of 16GB???
On top of that we tried just pluggin in his two remaining sticks without my original two sticks and the pc wouldnt even post. Neither him nor I know what to make of this anymore.
