My BIOS POST reports that it detects 12GB of RAM, even though I have 24GB installed. However, Memtest86 detects 24GB and tests it all successfully, and Windows and CPU-Z also reports 24GB detected. (Yes, I've tried to rearrange the RAM modules in different configurations, sometimes BIOS reports 8GB detected, sometimes 12GB, sometimes 16GB - but never all 24GB & the BIOS was updated to the latest version available from the manufacturer).
Is it OK to ignore what the BIOS says, and safe to presume that all 24GB are actually working in Windows?
