HoodiBoY Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 If you can try booting a Linux Live CD, x64 version, just to check if the OS can read the RAM correctly. Also 10GB doesn't sound like a correct RAM configuration; some older mainboards (their BIOS, in fact) won't even boot at all. If the Linux Live CD can read and use the whole 10GB then it's a Windows problem; if it can't then can be either a BIOS limitation (a BIOS *might* resolve it, you have to read the release notes for it) or a channel problem. I am sure that 10 GB of RAM is working fine.But I wanna know why it is not getting detected in Windows.? Anyways I am gonna check for faults in memory using MemTest. I will be posting results here. If it is working fine I am gonna update BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open Minded Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Turn off your computer and pull the non working RAM before you update the BIOS. Just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingbird Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I will repeat myself: have you check for bend or broken pins on the motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm wondering if it's because it's 10 gig, try taking one of the 2 gig sticks out and see if it'll recognise 8 gig? (I'm thinking it's either bad ram, or for some reason your windows won't recognise 10 gig of ram or it might only recognise in multiples of 4 gig increments...)
