Hi Guys, This has been bugging me all day.
recently i realised that 1 of my 4gb Corsair Vengeance seems to be reading and i just assumed he other had died. so i decided to buy a pair of 8gb Cucial Ballistix Sport, as a photographer the extra memory helps a lot.
so i took out the old ram and installed the new pair... only problem is the MB only seems to read 1 stick. naturally i changed dimm slots, but it stilled continued. i took both out and went through all 4 dimm slots individually with both sticks and they worked individually every go . tried the same with the old ram and the same result, i then mixed the old 4gb sticks with the 8gb and the 8gb sticks was the only one the bios found.
so to summarise every DIMM slot works by itself but as soon as i install 2 sticks the largest capacity stick is the only one the mb detects.
my motherboard is a Asus P8Z77-V LX (with the latest bios) and my CPU s an i5 3570k
any help would be great
