How Can I Get This To Work?

[dimabal10000]

So where shall I start..

I built my system with 4Gb's (2Gb Stick + 2Gb Stick) of Memory.

Then I decided to get another 4Gb's of Memory for the since - as a programmer extra memory can't harm me.

In result I had (2Gb + 2Gb + 4Gb Stciks) of memory.

Here are they:

2x 2Gb Memory Sticks - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104206


One 4Gb Memory Stick - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JO10RU/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


My MotherBoard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128565


They are basically identical! On boot it would say something like "Switch your ram sticks around" or something like that (I can't remember).

It would boot up, but only 4Gb of memory would be "usable".

I basically took out one of the 2Gb Memory sticks and left myself 6Gb of ram in total.

Note: Yes I do have a 64 bit Windows.


I tried using different ram sockets and place the ram sticks in all possible patterns. Nothing solved the issue.

I would still get 4Gb's of memory usable if I had 8 installed.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Does the 4GB stick work by it's self? Try it in each slot and see.

Try the 2GB sticks in slots 1-2 and the 4GB in slot 3, raise the DRAM voltage about + 0.07 and give it a try, no joy try the opposite the 4GB in slot 1 and the 2GB sticks in slots 3-4 from CPU, same thing on the voltage - if no joy let us know model #s of the DRAM and model of the mobo and CPU
