I have 2x4GBDDR3 RAM sticks but my Windows/BIOS shows only 4GB is installed and 2.90GB is usable.

I've tried taking one out to seeing if it boots and doing the same thing with the other and it boots on both ram sticks by themselves. I have also tried the "msconfig"/Maximum Memory method with no luck.

Any help?

Windows 32 or 64 bit ?

If BIOS doesn't show all of it, neither would Windows. Are they two different modules ? Are you installing them in right memory slots ?

They came from a kit of 2. They were installed in the right slots and I tried switching it around with no luck.

Thanks for the replies but I ended up fixing it by flashing my BIOS. It seemed to just be a glitch in the BIOS.
