So i use a MSI MS 7383 motherboard
which has 4 working DIMM slots but when i use
2+2+1 gigs of ram it just detects 3gb ram in bios
i've checked every single slot and ram dimms and they work good
2+2=4gb
2+1=3
1+2=3
but 2+2+1 = 3gb

Im using win 10 x64

According to manual:

Combination7 SS SS DS/SS X
Combination8 SS SS X DS/SS
Combination9 DS/SS X SS SS
Combination10 X DS/SS SS SS


So that would be in slots
1, 2 and 3 wher single sided in all 3 or one double sided in 3.
OR
in slots 1 and 2 single sided and DS or SS in 4
Or
In slot 1 DS or SS, and SSin 3 and 4.
or
In slot 2 DS or SS and SS in slots 3 and 4.

It appears that's all the possible combinations with 3 sticks and all except one have to be single sided. So you'll have to check which configuration the are, single or double sided. Keep in mind that they don't have to have chips on both sides to be still double sided. Cpu-Z can tell you part numbers of each stick (in SPD Tab) if they are not marked otherwise. Cross reference...

You will not see a speed boost with having three RAM sticks in the system especially with the third being 1 gig. In fact, you may see it run slower. Stick to either using the base two 2gb sticks or use an additional two 1gb sticks to set that pair to dual channel.
