Please help.
I have a new build (Newegg) with the following:
i7 860
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P
GSkill DDR1333 F3-10666CL8D-4GBRM (Ripjaws)
Corsair TX650 PS
Like MANY others, I have 8 gigs of RAM installed, but two slots (3 & 4) are disabled. Only 4 gigs available as indicated in the BIOS as well as in Win 7 64-bit.
I started at BIOS F3 and am now up to F6. I've adjusted BIOS settings from default to tweaks posted by others on this board.
I have reseated memory several times (with care) and have tried using only two chips inserted. (Then I get only 2 out of 4 gigs are available.) Seems Channel 1 (slots 3&4) are always disabled. Memory seems to check out using Memtest. I've tried all memory in every slot.
ANY help with settings, or proven MB & DDR3 combinations with 8 gigs would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Steve
