RAM not being detected by windows, yet is by cpuz

ey guys, some help required, and im stuck.

so put in 3 new sticks of kingston ddr3 1.5v 1600 mhz 2 gb dimms into x58 based system with 6 gig in 2x3 1600 mhz dimms and its not recognising the new ram sticks, but windows is also reporting that i only have 2 gig of memory, yet cpuz is reporting that there is 12 gigabytes installed.

cpu z is also reporting that ramm is also running in single channel, rather than triple

motherboard is asus p6t pro ws x58 and cpu is a core i7 920 currently running at stock.

i have some 4 gig dimms in another pc if that would help.

all help welcome

regards

andy

hi there, quick update is that i had some kingston hyper x ram in another build, so took those and replaced the original ram i had on the core i 7 920 and booted up fine, alhough xmp 2133 refused to boot, 1600mhz xmp works fine tho. ( the max oc ram supported on my x58 is 2000mhz) I also removed all the original ram and tried new sticks that a bought but the x58 mobo did not want to boot with those dimms in, so will try them on a different pc and update tyhread as to results,

also anyt thoughts why original ram would not boot but hyper x does would be welcome

regards

andy
