hey all. I've tried different ram, a different windows version, I've messed around in bios and updated it as well. How can i get my pc to register the rest of my ram??
-cross posting-
Hit ctrl-shift-esc to quick open tasks/performance. Are apps using a total of 8 gb? What are you running?
If you reseated the CPU and tried different RAM already it could be you have a defective motherboard. I read some other threads where that was the case.
If a big chunk of ram isn't available this is usually because your system is using at as video memory, typically in the absence of a full GPU card. If you don't do a ton of gaming or video editing you can probably go into the BIOS and reduce your video memory to 1-2GB, or if you have a separate GPU then set it to as low as possible.
Last update: well folks she's dead lol. Black screen no display reset cmos and did everything up to shorting pins. Updated bios and it said "haha no"
