Greetings, I thot that since there are some smart folks herebouts that I could post this question. I've been running at it for several days with no luck and it seems that I have read 100s of internet posts. I have 32 gb of ram installed, but windows says that while I have 32 gb installed, only 16 is usable. I attach the following for a quick synopsis:
Anyone have any ideas how I can get my total usable up to 32??
Thanx in advance. (I'll take the answer off air hahah)
HTML:
Motherboard Name: GA-970A-D3 (3.0)
BIOS Ver: FD
Video Card: ASUS HD7770
CPU Model: AMD FX-8350
Operation System: Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP: 1
Size: 4 x 8 gb (32 gb) Memory Part No.: BLS8F3D1609DS1S00 (Crucial 8gb Sport 1600 CL9 @ 1.5 volt)
Power Supply: 1000 Watts
Motherboard bios reports 32 gb mem and Windows reports 32 gb installed (16 usable)
Things I have tried:
Complete new install of above windows os;
msconfig/boot/advanced/maximum memory checked and unchecked;
Slowed ram from 1600 to 1333 and back again;
conducted repair install of windows;
removed and replaced ram modules (to include swapping positions);
updated bios (updated to an older one that dealt with memory issue, then updated to most recent one) FD in case you wanted to know;
Ran memtest on all 4 mem modules passed;
Anyone have any ideas how I can get my total usable up to 32??
Thanx in advance. (I'll take the answer off air hahah)
