I'm not sure why this is happening. I used my old motherboard for a short time while my CPU was coming in, then switched back and only used one ram stick so I could be sure it's working. It did work, but it's not showing the other RAM stick as usable at all (I have 7.73 usable with either 1 or 2 sticks) The first stick is in the blue slot nearest the CPU, the second is in the other blue slot. Nothing is in either black slot. I've already checked and made sure it was inserted firmly with the computer off and then turned it back on. I believe this is the correct configuration but I forgot if that's how I had it before. The other stick was working before.
Edit: Nevermind, one should be a blue slot and one should be a black slot.
