Hi everyone.
I recently upgraded my RAM to play games more smoothly. Problem is, half of my RAM isn't usable! Here are some specs.
OS: Windows 7 Home 64 bit
Motherboard: Msi 970-AG45
CPU: AMD FX 6100 6 core processor
Graphic Card: Geforce GTS 450
I have 4 total sticks of 4gb, and I made sure that the same brands are in the correct colored slots. Under the system it says my installed memory RAM is 16GB (8GB usable). I have already attempted unchecking the maximum memory under boot advanced options, but it didn't work. Any other ideas?
EDIT: I just found out the sticks I ordered are a different voltage. I ordered two Crucial sticks at 1.35V, and my two old Patriots run at 1.65V. Should I find a matching set of voltages or is there a way to still make it work?
