Hello everyone,
I am currently having an issue with my RAM and my motherboard. Let me start off with my overall computer specs as I have listed below.
My specs;
Motherboard: GA-A320M-S2H
Graphics Card: GTX 1050TI
RAM: 8GB 1R*8 PC4 3000 16-18-18-36 HP V6 DDR4 (x2)
Processor: Ryzen 7 2700x
Drives: 500GB SSD & 1TB HDD
PSU: 500 Watt Power Supply
The issue that I am having is that when I have fully inserted my two 8GB of RAM into each slot, my system only displays it as one. I know by a means that not one of my RAM sticks are damaged in any way, shape or form as I have done a few tests. The first test that I have done was that I would replace my new Ryzen 7 processor with my old Ryzen 3 1200 processor. From this test, my computer was able to fully detect that I have 16GB of total RAM installed. I have also tried testing each RAM stick individually and both would work fine on either slot. With my Ryzen 7 processor installed, when I went into BIOS, it would display that I do have all RAM sticks fully inserted, though my computer is unable to recognize that I have 16GB therefore it only displays 8GB.
After these tests I am at the conclusion that either my motherboard is damaged, and or it is too weak to handle 16GB of RAM with a high end processor.
If my conclusion is false, can you please explain why my motherboard is behaving this way?
I will greatly and respectively appreciate any feedback!
