Though I don't know how you bought the parts without working out how to put them together.

how did it go? any problems...

rgooch · Oct 12, 2014

i have built it, all good, except.....my ram is only telling me i have 12gb installed, even though on bios it recognised that all 4x4 ram are using 4gb....
not sure why or what to do... help

michaelhall · Oct 12, 2014

Is it matched ram ? Try them in different orders you might have a dud stick

rgooch · Oct 12, 2014

yeah all same dominator platinum, 4x4gb all in right slots, a1 b1 etc.... was reading up and people said either a dud stick, cpu problem but if in bios it is recognising it why the f is it not in windows, i was thinking, would my gpu take some of that (i have a 770gtx 2gb)

michaelhall · Oct 12, 2014

Not unless you dedicate some ram as gpu memory , try 2 at a time in dual you'll find the culprit, what does cpuz say?

rgooch · Oct 12, 2014

on bios it says there 4lots of 4gb on system information it says 12gb, if i had screwed my cpu fan on too tight, surely all the sticks would not be functioning, so surely its not that, right? i might just re apply them, but im installing a few things first

michaelhall · Oct 12, 2014

Download memtest86... http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm run it for at least an hour see if it comes back with errors

michaelhall · Oct 12, 2014

If in bios it says they there and everything's ok I wouldn't worry too much about it might just be a glitch

michaelhall · Oct 12, 2014

Download cpuz see what that says

rgooch · Oct 12, 2014

will do, cheers for help. Also my hdd is showing up on my bios but not on windows...(this is my first build by way) even though my ssd and optical are all good on bios and windows.

michaelhall · Oct 12, 2014

go to disk management and select your HDD then select new simple volume , windows should detect it after

glad to help mate

can you plse spend a little time and pick a solution... thanks, mick

i7Baby · Oct 12, 2014

Pull your RAM out and put it back in again. Make sure its fully locked into the DIMM slots.

rgooch · Oct 12, 2014

its randomly, by itself changed and is now saying 16gb is installed lol...don't know what happened there...
Only other problems left are .....my ssd, hdd and optical are all in, bios has acknowledged them and they are all on windows under devices however on computer, it only has c drive ssd, no d drive hdd. but bios says it is there.

i7Baby · Oct 12, 2014

Go into Control Panel, Device Manager and check they are all working properly and have latest drivers.
