Either you have (Multiple or) a single dead RAM stick, or memory slots.

How many sticks of RAM are you using? Also, run each stick on Mem test and you'll find out what the problem is. If the sticks are fine, it's a dead Slot. I would know because the motherboard I use now came with 2 dead slots! I thought it was a CPU issue the whole time ;'( don't make the same mistake! lol

warlock that is wrong.
win 7 ultimate and enterprise is exactly the same they just use a different licensing model, enterprise use volume licencing. They also both support 192 GB ram not 64 GB, which the cheaper pro also does.
