6gig of DDR triple channel ocz

[murf111]

Got a problem. Some times when i start window it only registers as 4gig but some times it registers as 6gig. Using windows 7 ultimate. Any ideas?

What motherboard are you using? Make sure it supports over 4GB of RAM. Where are you looking to check how much memory you have? Make sure you are reading the right info

My thought is one of the sticks is in the process of 'dying' becoming bad. I would re-seat the RAM and make sure the DIMM slots aren't loaded up with dust; use compressed air to clean before removing RAM and then re-clean the DIMM slots. Examine the RAM's contacts for discoloration.

If the problem persists then contact OCZ for a replacement. Keep in mind OCZ no longer produces RAM so they may need to change out the entire kit for something else.

Run Memtest for 4-passes using one of the bootable (ISO) options, and failures report to OCZ and request an RMA. Memtest - http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

OCZ memory huh? Well its probably old since they don't make memory anymore and its time may be up or just dusty. Either way memory is cheap. Just buy new sticks. 6gb will cost you $35 total.

The RMA process will take AT LEAST a week and for $35 its not worth the hassle in my opinion. Or do both. Just RMA them after your new sticks from newegg arrive and sell the replacements OCZ sends you to get some of your money back.
