I have noticed that my computer is no longer recognising both RAM sticks in my PC, I have gone into my BIOS and that seems to recognise it and even when I look at my system specs it even says that I have 16GB installed but only 7.94GB is available.
I have tried the usual fixes by switching my RAM around on the motherboard and when I booted up with one stick of RAM they both work completely fine.
One thing I did notice though was when I tried to boot my RAM on the A2 slot on my motherboard I would get an error code which meant that my RAM was not seated properly, I made sure that I heard the click when I inserted the RAM so I know that it is seated properly.
my motherboard user manual says that the optimal RAM seating would be A2 and B2 but A2 doesnt work as far as I am concerned, would seating my RAM in A1 and B1 make the RAM any slower?
I think my motherboard may be faulty and I just wanted to check to see if there was any other potential fix before sending it back to be replaced!
Any help will be appreciated. thanks.
