Hello guys so i bought 8 GB of ram(1x8gb) to upgrade my pc that currently has 2 gbs (I readed my pc specs on curvial.com or something i can have 16gb in my pc). In my BIOS it shows up all rams together that means 10 GB and when my pc starts up i go to my computer properties and it shows up only 2gb one. When i try pluging only 8 GB ram memory card my pc wont boot and it beeps! Someone help me please :S (PS im running 64bit windows 7 ultimate)
New ram upgrade problems! Bios shows up 10 gbs and Windows show up only old ram 2 gb!

you cant mix 2 differnt rams together, the bios sees it cause it know how much is in there, but windows cant use 2 seperate kinds of ram. i suggest you take the old 2gb out. Put the 8gb stick in the first slot, which is the ram slot closest to the edge of the board 
And 8gb is plenty of ram these days.
After you do this all problems should be fixed, and windows will read 8gb ram
