Bearcat Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I have 16G of RAM installed in my new build. WQhen I go into Control Panel ist says that I have 16G but it says that only 8G is available.. Why is that? I thought W7 was made to handle more RAM.

PoleCat Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Assuming Windows 7 x64...... Try re-seating your memory first. Make sure bios lists memory amount correctly. System specs, memory type and model and number of modules? Out Edited September 1, 2012 by PoleCat http://www.104thphoenix.com/
Bodo Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Yeh, are the modules all matching make and speeds? Some guy in another thread had matched pairs but he stuck the pairs in the A slots and B slots respectively. Try making sure that the pairs are in alternating slots. So likely that one matched pair should be in the slots of matching colour and so on. Slots A-1 and B-3 or A-1 and B-2...you get the idea, however your motherboard labels the slots..
