Hi, I have a gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3 motherboard, that had 8gb of ram on it.
I decided a few days ago I wanted to max out the ram on it to 32gb, so went online and this pack
http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/ga-78lmt-usb3/CT3603061
They arrived today, so I took out my old sticks of 2x4gb and put all 4 of these in.
Computer started but didnt do anything, so I figured maybe one of the sticks was dead, so I:
- unplugged 3 of them and the computer started fine.
- added a second stick, computer fine
- added the third stick and computer doesn't start
- tried the other stick in its place, computer doesn't start.
Ive tried using the last two sticks on their own and they work so I know all the rams fine.
When I try using just slots 3 and 4 the computer wont start, but if I put my old 4gb sticks in slots 3 and 4 then the computer is fine.
And if I put 2x8gb in slots 1 and 2, and the old sticks in 3 and 4... computer works but reads 18gb instead of 24gb, which is weird to me
So I don't think there's any physical fault going on with either the board or my new sticks, but I can't figure out whats going on, its been a long time since Ive really messed around with components like several years in fact.
My old sticks are 1600mhz 9-9-9-24 1.5v
My new sticks are 1600mhz 8-8-8-24 1.35v
Are there any Bios settings I might need to adjust to get the system to recognize the extra Ram
Cheers in advance anyone who answers
And apologies now - its been a long time so a lot of jargon will go over my head haha
