System Specs: Window 10 64 bit
8GBs of ram but computer only reads 4 or 6GB(another issue I was trying to deal with look below)
motherboard GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard120GB
SSD 500GB HHD
GTX580 GPU
PSU750
The Issue/Story: I recently install some new ram, everything was working just fine, expect the motherboard was only reading 4GB of ram out of the two. (Total of 8GB). Previous ram I had was 6GB of ram (x3 ram with 2GB a piece) I had the same issue with this ram, but I left this alone for a few years now)
When the computer was working fine with the new Ram, I figure the reason why it isn't detecting the ram must be a motherboard issue. So I went to gigabyte website to download their app center to download anything I might need for my motherboard. After that I immediately started to experience some problems. I don't know if it change anything major in my bios or not. So for awhile my computer will boot into bios then windows but immediately blue screen. BSOD caused by grdv.sys SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION So, I wanted to just format the computer to fix any issue I had. BUT I can't format because it will not boot into my cd nor usb drive that has window 10 in it. I know it works because I just recently use to reformat/install windows on another computer successfully.
I am kind of frustrated/flustered and I don't know what I could do to fix the problem.
