I just installed Win 7 Ultimate, 64-bit on my new build, and I cannot figure out why the OS only sees half of my memory.
I ran memtest to ensure that all the sticks were working fine, and after 4 runs, I got no errors. Ive also used the pairs individually before, and I have never had any problems.
Also, when I try to get a System Rating ("Windows Experience Index"), the OS spits out an error that "The Windows Experience Index for you computer could not be computed... The assessment or other operation did not complete successfully. This is due to an error being reported from the operating system, driver, or other component.", and it seems to be hanging on the "Assessing Disk Performance" stage of getting a score. I figure it might be related.
Ive gotten Vista 32-bit to work fine and it got a 5.9, although only 3.4GB of memory was recognized (obviously).
Since I have installed all of the drivers, I am thinking it might be a BIOS issue, but I don't know what to change. Anyone know what's up?
The build is:
Intel i7 860 OC'd to 4.01Ghz
GeForce GTX 285
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P
2 Kits of GSkill RAM. 4GB each
WD 750GB Caviar Black HDD
Antec P183 Case
OCZ 700W PSU
LITE-ON DVD/CD Burner
