Alright guys, I'm not a computer genius and I hope that I don't talk cr*p and apologies for my English
I have a crucial 4gb ddr3 1600MHz UDIMM 1.5v cl11 and recently I bought a Kingston 8GB, DDR3, 1600MHz, DIMM, CL11, 1.5V. So basically I should have 12gb ram. When I mounted them in my motherboard (B85M-DGS which has only 2 slots and it supports up to 32gb), it didn't recognize one stick. I thought that I bought the wrong RAM but it turned out that it doesn't recognize either of my RAM sticks if I mount them in the 2nd slot. Both of the RAM sticks work separately in the 1st slot which is the closest to my CPU. At the moment I have 8gb but it's frustrating that I can't add the other 4 gb to it.
In my BIOS I saw that it shows "DDR3_B1 - none", same with the CPU-Z, it doesn't recognize my Slot #2
-I tried to resetting my BIOS
-Re-mounting RAM
-I took out the CMOS battery
-Tried to clean it and I didn't see any damage whatsoever, maybe because I'm mad and tired, probably I'm gonna check it again tomorrow.
-Tried updating my BIOS but for some reasons I couldn't...
It could be the UDIMM and DIMM conflicting? I read that they are basically the same thing. But I mounted my original pre-built 4gb ram in the second slot and it didn't work. It was just black screen, nothing happened.
Maybe my motherboard is damaged?
I was searching for answers and solutions for hours..still nothing...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
