I have 4 sticks of 2x2GB Corsair Dominators, all identical, came in a box together. Just recently installed windows 8.1 64bit. No overclocking has been done. I can only use a maximum of 3 sticks because of power limitations, but 3 is fine.
It is dual channel, but that is not important to me, using them as single is sufficient for what I do with my computer.
All the sticks are in perfect condition and work on my friends computer. My old ram works on my motherboard and shows up completely.
When I put 1 stick in, in slot one, 2gb shows up when there should be 4.
When I put 2 sticks in, whether I go slot 1 and 2, or 1 and 3, only 4gb shows up instead of 8.
When I put 3 sticks in, slots 1, 2 and 3, only 6gb shows up instead of 12.
When I put 4 sticks in, it doesn't post.
I have been in the BIOS, it shows all 12, but task manager and cpu-z only shows 6. I would like to get as much of my RAM working as possible and have tried everything I could find, googling for similar problems, checking forums etc.
Already reseated, checked BIOS, pins are fine, win8.1 64bit.
