Hello everyone,

Bring an old Skulltrail 5400xs motherboard back online with windows server 2016 x64. Everything installed correctly and windows server is up and running without issue, except that it shows 4gb of 8gb usable. I have 4, 2gb sticks installed.

My original thought was that its an issue with bios version or drives, but updating them has not helped. They are recognized by the hardware but not usable. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help.

I will post a picture later today, but I don't see how it can be a bad stick if windows reports 8gb, but limits it to exactly 4gb.

The CPUs are e5410s.
