Hello everybody,
I have a technical problem, I have just built a new computer, and i bought 4gbx2 sticks. Everything is running fine but the bios and windows 8.1 system only reading 4gb. But CPU-Z is reading both sticks and 8 gb. I need help please :D.....
Specs:
Motherboard; F2A55M-S1
Windows 8.1
CPU; AMD A10 3.8GHZ (Don't know how to overclock says turbo 4.2ghz)
Ram; GSKILL f3-1600c11s 4gb sticks.
PSU; 600W
Any help would be appreciated and very much thankful.

Contact the motherboard support and see if they have solutions, most times they have this issues documented and can lead you in the right direction, but sometimes you get lazy techs and just give you generic answers.
