I have two 8gb ram sticks (Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666 Mhz) and sometimes they work flawlessly with no problems at all. However then when I turn off my pc and re boot it will not boot into windows until i reseat the ram. Or sometimes it will boot but then in windows it will only shows 7.95gb usable out of the 16gb i have.

So far i have tried changing all of the windows settings recommended online and had no luck fixing this problem.
Also i have tried changing the voltage from Auto to 1.450v as this was recommended and this did not fix it. I have also been told to flash my bios to update it but not sure if this would work?
Any help would be appreciated!
 
Solution
Updating BIOS is a good shout. You can find the instructions on your motherboard manufacturers page.
However I would also suggest you run memtest to verify the integrity of your RAM modules.
