This problem is bugging me to the point of me losing sleep. I recently built a computer using:
EVGA X58 SLI LE
Core i7 920 (not OCed)
6GB G.Skill 1600Ghz - (3x2GB)
EVGA GTX 260
Windows 7 64-bit
Since day 1 I've seen this problem where on my computer properties, my memory is shown as "installed memory: 6GB and (3.99GB useable). When I restart the computer, it sometimes comes up as the full 6GB useable and everything is okay. But then it goes back to the 3.99GB useable situation again randomly on some boots.
Does anyone know what may be the problem? Do I need to flash and update my BIOS? Is my RAM modules bad? Or the MOBO's RAM socket bad??
Please please plesae, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
