Speces:
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA990FXA-UD3 (newest BIOS update, not including beta)
RAM - Patriot Sector 5 DDR3 2x4GB
CPU - AMD FX-8350
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Issue:
My friend looked over my computer yesterday and he noticed that my computer only recognized 4.00GB of RAM. We thought the computer just didn't want to recognize one of the RAM or there was some issue in the BIOS.
We looked on the forum and saw some people saying we should go to System Config to check out Maximum Memory and have it unchecked. It is already unchecked, and says 4096. We're guessing it's not that problem.
We then saw people saying we should go to BIOS and do a RAM remapping. My BIOS (some odd reason) doesn't have that option.
I then use the Gigabyte Easy Tune 6 software to see if I can overclock something. I then see in the Memory tab that it recognizes both slots, but the module size is only listed as 2048MB.
Question:
What should I do????
Thank you very much for your help in advance!
