I have 3 chips of Corsair Dominator (2GBx3) memory mounted on primary slots but at the time of booting it says i have only 4GB of memory (Even in windows, it shows me only 4GB of installed memory). I have tried following things :

Quote:

1. My Bios is updated to the latest release i.e. RampageII-ASUS-GENE-1701 (using Asus Ez Flash).
2. Checked mounting 1 memory chip at a time in individual primary slots and found my memory chips are fine as well as slots are working fine.
3. Tried installing every possible BIOS update i found on Asus website and finally kept the latest update.
4. I'm on Windows 7 x64 Genuine version updated to this minute.

None of above things worked for me. I just wanna have 6GB of memory so i can play Batman arkham city without lag (lol).

Following is my configuration :

2. Processor : Intel core i7 920 (Rs.15,500/-)

P.S. I copied above configuration from my vendor's email.. that is why there are prices listed next to each item.. lol

I tried seeking help from my vendor but found hes a complete nutjob.. Since youse the bomb, i'm really looking forward to getting this resolved forever. Cheers!! :hello:
