lost78 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 the problem is my motherboard cannot detect the memory each time. i got my first memory and when it boot, it detect 2gb instead of 4gb, i check one by one and found out that one of the module fault. I changed the new one from my vendor and get the new one, i tried to boot the pc and at first try it detect 4GB. I think my problem solved until i restart my pc and it gives me headache once again!. but strangely when I left my pc off and let it cool for a few hours, when i boot my pc it detect 4GB again, but when restart, the same problem occur. i check the module each one of it and both can boot. I also use Memtest and Cpu-z and both can detect 4GB even when BIOS tells me that its 2GB on board. my bios was upgraded to the latest one but that not solve my problem. i tried to clear CMOS and re-seat the memory modules as you suggest. but the same problem keep happen. i restart my PC after it detects 4GB and bios tells me my system got only 2GB. but when i use CPU-Z and Memtest, both program detect my memory correctly which are 4GB and both can detect my memory modules on slot 1 and slot 3. you can see some picture i take: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23076558@N05/4074813488/in/photostream/ hope i can hear something from you soon.

leppie Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I have an identical setup (besides CPU) and have not noticed this behavior. Will try take note, but as far as I can remember it always shows 4088MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
