Hi everyone!
Originally, my system has installed 8GB RAM (2GB x 4). Both the PC and the Windows can recognize it and use all memory. The system is running with good performance. Now I bought 16GB (8GB x 2) RAM installed in dual channel mode.
My OS is Windows 7 64 bits Ultimate Version (Traditional Chinese). Motherboard is ASUS Z97-K. BIOS is upgraded to the latest one.
POST is normal and it clearly shows and recognizes that the new 16GB RAM installed. The system can boot and log in into Windows 7 successfully. The PC is running fine as good as before installation.
The system properties of Windows 7 shows clearly that 16GB memory has been recognized and installed. But it says only 7.46GB can be used!!!
Anyone knows what happens to my PC and what should I need to do in order to use up ALL 16GB RAM?
Thanks everyone in advance.
Here is the spec of my PC:
OS: Windows 7 64bits Ultimate (Traditional Chinese)
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 @3.2GHz, 4 cores, no overclocking.
Motherboard: Asus Z97-K
Memory: Kingston Hyper X Fury HX318C10FRK2/16, DDR3-1866 16GB kit (8GB x 2) CL 10
(I use it at speed 1600 and 1333. The problem is still there.)
Hard Disk: Crucial MX100 256GB SSD
Display: Galaxy Geforce GT730 1GB DDR5
