Hi all,
I?m setting up a new computer and have run into a problem. My memory is not being fully recognized or at least is not fully usable.
Motherboard: Asus Maximus III Formula. Latest bios.
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
RAM: 4x2 (8GB) GSkill F3-12800CL9Q-8GBECO
With all four sticks in, Windows 7 indicates that I have 8GB RAM but only 3.99GB are usable. With two sticks in, Windows 7 says I have 4GB but only 1.99GB available.
In POST and in bios, I see only 4087MB available. However, Asus MemPerfect sees 8192MB installed.
I have reseated the RAM several times and tried a few different settings in bios. The memory remapping is enabled.
According to the GSkill web site, this RAM should work with my motherboard (Though it is not on the Asus QVL list.) How can I get it to let me have 8 (or nearly 8) usable GB?
I really hope I can resolve this without returning something.
