Hi, i build my 1st PC with this:

Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz cmz16gx3m2a1600c10
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 r2.0
Processor: AMD FX-8350

The ram are working well, but in windows says "16gb(8gb usable)", i wanna use all the 16gb. I upgraded my BIOS with Asus Update a few minutes ago and still same problem. Please help me, thanks a lot.

i solved the problem, i tried to put only one memory at port DIMM A2 & DIMM B2, but my pc didn't work, so i put the two memories at the port DIMM A1(BLUE) & DIMM B2 (BLACK).

That´s correct? In the manual says the ram must be in BLUE-BLUE or BLACK-BLACK, never says BLUE-BLACK. I went into the bios and saw this:

Now my memories are at 1439Mhz, i remember they was in 1600Mhz because they are 1600Mhz. This is bad?

see..1st set the bios to default..and then use 1 stick of your ram and boot the system..and then check the frequency... also run the system for 10-15 min...see if the blue screen occurs?? blue screen generally occur due to memory issues.. if it runs ok..then use the second stick for the same procedure... this will tell you that your ram is fine or not..
then Clear the CMOS. (Section 1.2.7 of manual)
Put two sticks in either the blue or black slots.
Restart the PC and enter the BIOS setup.
Load optimized defaults from BIOS Exit menu

see if it works
