Hello Everyone.

I need Assistance solving this issue.

CPU: A8-7600
Motherboard: A88XM-E45
Ram: 4x2GB Corsair XMS3
Windows 7 64Bit Ultimate

Issue:

Boot into Bios with 4 sticks of ram, Bios Reads only 4096. But windows reads 8 GB, only 3.49 Useable "Win7 64Bit"
Tested Each Ram individually works fine, Tested with Dual Channel Works only for 2 sticks in both channels works fine.
But not with all 4 sticks, then i noticed this strange issue, It's Random and not specific to a particular Dimm slot. Check Screenshot.

Side Note:

Thinking of updating the bios to version 25.2 which is specifically for the A8-7600, Unless specified otherwise reason to update to 25.6 Latest. But i keep reading about issues with M-Flash, and should use MSI HQ USB BIOS Flash Tool to update safely.

Thanks for your time to read this, Would greatly appreciate the help.

Since the memory controller is built into the APU, updating the bios to one that supports yours sounds like a wise decision to me.
