Hey guys I have a small problem with my RAM and it's never happened before.
I have 2 sets of 'Kingstone Hyperx T1'. There 6 bars filling 6 slots equaling 16GB
I have just cleaned PC and reseated most things, turned my PC, was just checking some things in CPU-Z and System when I realized my Installed memory was 12.0GB with 8.00GB Usable. This is strange because in CPU-Z I can see all 6 slots filled and responding under SPD Tab but the Memory Tab shows 12GBytes.
Before this all when I went to Control Panel > System and Security > System. The RAM read 16GB
note: I did read somewhere that I could change maximum memory and untick it, checked this and the previous owner seems to have done that to allow the 16gb?
UPDATE:I restarted PC and got an error about 'Locating Lost DRAM', Restarted it again to no avail, tried a 3rd time and here I am. Got passed the Locating part but the ram is still the same. Stuck at 12gb, 8 usable and what appears to be 6 full slots in CPU-Z. Double checked that both sets are seated together(3's) and properly, all in firm.
CPU-Z still reading 6 slots full but 12GB.
Help please! How can I get my missing ram back! He's out there all alone and needs me....
Cheers,
Cary
