Hello and thank you in advance for any help. I am using:
-Gigabyte GA-z77mx-d3h MOBO.
-2 sticks of Corsair Vengeance DDR3. 8GB RAM each.
-Windows 7 Pro. x64.
I have already tried the following:
-Cleaned dust from DIMM and cleaned RAM sticks.
-Used every combination of RAM placement, including different color slots.
-Double checked settings in msconfig and ensured no max is set on RAM.
-Updated RAM settings in BIOS to increase voltage and set to XPM/Extreme setting.
When I used only a single Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM stick and booted up, both BIOS and Windows only read 4 GB of RAM. It seems it is halving each stick independently, no matter which slot it is placed in.
Any help would be appreciated.
