Computer:
MB: P7H55-M Pro
Bios version: 1709
ChipSet: Intel Core i3 540 (clarkdale socket 1156 LGA)
OS: Win7 64 bit Home Premium (Sp 1)
Problem:
The 2x4GB ram will not allow for boot up past ASUS screen with memory remapping turned on. If it's turned off, I can enter into Windows, but it only shows 3.5 GB usable, and 8 GB installed. The Bios only recognizes approx. 3.2 GB.
Inital Procedures that do not work (with remapping on):
1) overclocking at all available freq
2) DRAm freq at 1600, 1333, and 1066
3) all permuations resulting from the options available from (1) and (2).
4) all combinations that result from the DIMM slot orientations (A1 and B1 is preferred)
5) adjusting voltage to 1.6V (1.65 not available)
6) Contact Asus customer service (3 hrs - FML) - said this ram should work and we went through all the above...
I'll admit my win7 is not official, but I can't figure out how to test that it is truley 64bit. However, the fact that the BIOS can't handle more than 4 gigs is puzzling. Shouldn't it be OS independant, any thoughts? This is my first post.
