Hello everyone.
I put my computer together and installed 6gb of ram. I go into dxdiag to check things out, and I'm only getting 2gb. I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool and nothing was found to be wrong.

My setup is as follows:

G.SKILL PI Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7T-6GBPI

This is my first build so I probably made a mistake a long the way. I'm going to check the mobo tomorrow to make sure the all the sticks are firmly in place where they should be.
If they are, I'm uncertain as to what my next step should be.
I'd appreciate any advice.

Thank you,
Reid--
