Hi all. I rly hope some of you can help me regarding the issue I have about my RAM sticks.
So first of all i have Trident Z RGB 2x8Gb 3200Mhz. They were working fine and were overclocked to work at 3000Mhz.
Now i noticed that speed both single RAMs is 2133. Since my RAMs are dual channel and were properly placed in A2 n B2 that speed halved is one channel speed is 1066.5Mhz, right?
Maybe BIOS is reseted settings so i need to configure timings again.
Second thing which is actually a problem is I have stupid "Hardware reserved 8.1Gb" of RAM. A [watch your language] 8.1Gb...
Tried all solutions but in vain. Can't fix it.
Tried msconfig/boot/advanced options/uncheck max memory = restart = nothing.
Searched my BIOS but didn't find any option regarding my RAM nor integrated graphic or such. BTW i have B350-F Gaming MOBO.
Tried to check every RAM alone in PC and they both work. There is only one thing i noticed is that when i put single RAM into my B2 slot windows won't start but if i put 2 RAM sticks in A2 and B2 windows start up and it is indentifying it in task manager as "Hardware Reserved"
I tried A1 and B1 still same "Hardware Reserved" standing and i can only use 8Gb of my Ram.
I have Ryzen 1600 and GTX 1060.
Pls good people help me fix all this im begging you!!
More info: Tried each separate in all slots, when i plug sticks in B2 windows not starting regardless of what stick i put. When i put each single stick in A1 and test them BIOS do recognize them separately but when i put 2 sticks in A1 and B1 BIOS says that he sees only 8gb.
CPU-Z piture
Task Manager picture
as you can see they DO my RAM
Even on System page it says:
Installed memory (RAM) 16Gb / (7.94Gb usable)
Don't understand why doesn't bios recognize.
New info: Just updated my BIOS to latest version and everything went fine but now i have another problem. When i plug my 2 sticks together my windows won't boot. But if i plug each one separately in A1 windows starts up. Don't understand. Anyone some solution, explanation? Help...
Just to notify you i actually insterted sticks in A1 and A2 and now i use 16Gbs of my RAM but my CPU-z tells me they are single channel. Is that ok? they work same on 2132 speed non clocked.
