My PC components are as follows:
i5-4430
ASRock B85 Pro4 ATX LGA1150 (http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B85%20Pro4/?cat=Specifications)
Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Power Supply
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (2 sticks purchased as a pair)
So far I have tested the memory in multiple configurations. A1 and B1, A2 and B2, A1 and B2, B1 and B2, as well as each slot individually with only one stick (4 gb total showing up). All configurations still only show the sticks as 4 GB.
I've updated my Bios (2.20) as well as all the drivers on the ASRock page. Also reset everything in Bios to default, then even reset CMOS using the jumper just for good measure.
Checked in msconfig>boot>advanced and Maximum memory is not checked.
I've run Memtest86 and got no errrors, but it only saw 4 GB on each chip.
I've cleaned the contacts on the memory and blown out the slots on the mobo with canned air.
At this point I am thinking the mobo has gone bad, but am hoping for some suggestions.
Update: I am just an idiot. I thought I bought 8gb sticks. They are 4s.
