Windows 10 64bit 8GB RAM installed 3.98GB usable?

I would also test with a 8GB+ module, if you can possibly get one somewhere.

I gave all my spare stuff to a forumnite...

Was it @The_Donkey ? Last i heard he is still waiting for his RAM

Was it 8Gb, or 3.98Gb on special?

I tried one dimm at a time in each slot, each dimm works on its own in every slot.

Linux 64bit also only sees 4gb with both films plugged in.

Pc is on a ups so I'll look for a newer bios next.

Anybody know if the memory controller resides in the cpu or if it's part of the MB chooser? Thinking of reseating the cpu as well but forgot to bring thermal paste with me.

Memory controller is in the cpu.

In task manager under performance and memory what does it say under hardware reserved?

4124MB

Are you sure the motherboard or the RAM slots aren't forked? Can you get another 4GB RAM module to test with?

Sounds like compatibility between RAM and MoBo

Flashed the bios to latest available version and still no change. Bios still says single channel and only 3.98gb available in windows...

Did you try using slots A2 and B1... ?

Yes tried all possible combination

this is normally an indication of a motherboard that is failing. had the same thing happen with a new Ryzen build.

had to swap out the motherboard to get it fixed.

I also asked that and he said to check post #37.

yeah even though he tested each slot the board is not activating the dual channel memory lane, which means the communication between the memory controller and the board is not functioning properly, that is why its reserving one DIMM as non useable memory.

Yes, I'll do one last excercise of reseating the cpu tomorrow just incase after I was told today the pc got knocked off it's pedestal. If still no joy then it will be a new mb/cpu/ram combo in the persons future....

Are the voltages of both modules the same? 1.35v or 1.5v

Problem solved by reseating the CPU!

Sweet one ponder
Good effort.
