Hello everybody. Forgive me if I forget something, this is my first post here.

I had 6gb of Ram in my system that was running perfectly and installed another 6gb. When I booted my computer up, it shuts off exactly 3 times before post beeps, then boots normally. When I get into Windows, my system information is only recognizing 4gb total instead of 12gb. I have looked and looked for answers and still have not been able to get any resolve.

p6x58d Premium motherboard w/ i7 920
12 GB corsair dominator TR3X6G1600C8D
5870 Radeon Video
Corsair 860w Power Supply

Yea, I was dreading hearing a hardware failure. After checking all of the Ram sticks individually, two of them are bad. Thank you for the quick response.
