So I had a very short power cut last night. It came back on within 15 seconds and I saw my pc launch surge protection. It displayed all the correct info, included the full 16GB of memory.
Unfortunately then the power cut in and out around four times, when surge protection relaunched it only displayed 8GB of memory.
I have tried clearing cmos, I flashed my mobo to the latest firmware and still no success. CPU-Z however seems to be picking up the full 16GB.
I've checked all memory sticks and they all work individually, as well as all the slots. The only way it will read though is as either A1 B1 or A2 B2.. But combine them and it will only read one of the two combinations.
PC spec:
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7
Processor Count: 8
RAM: 8145 Mb
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series, 1024 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 122001 MB, Free - 17284 MB; F: Total - 343296 MB, Free - 125127 MB; H: Total - 953866 MB, Free - 200122 MB; I: Total - 943556 MB, Free - 338105 MB;
Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC., P8H77-V
Antivirus: ESET Smart Security 6
Any ideas on what's gone wrong?
Thank you
