    Missing RAM?


    Having 3 of this specific motherboard, with 8gb of ram on each, tells me that the OP has a problem with one of the modules. When I set up a machine I use the defaults and the slots as shown in the picture in the above reply. Either pair of slots should work as an added test.
    I wonder if the OP actually has Windows 7 64 installed. If not already run - Speccy would be another tool to use. I do agree that Memtest is/should also be run. Finally, GigaByte does have some very good folks that can assist.

    BTW: The current Revision is 5.

    You guys are doing well with an OP who refuses to add system specs.

    Knowing the exact RAM would be a plus.

    Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz CL 9 that's what he told us first

    Because, I for one, won't go searching through 50 posts hoping an OP mentioned specs. It's not hard to do and it's free.

    I think you might have a iffy board have you ran any Bios Update sometimes that does fix a ram error issue

    Sorry didn't bring this up before but after having a good meal for lunch my Brain Power is back

    No it isn't unless you have a overclock

    What Bios are you using now in the screen shot i posted AGESA Code is the Code for the CPU to be recognized by the Ram and MB in your case it looks like that might be the issue here look up what Bios is on and Update it

    Sorry to say it should of been updated before that chip got installed but what the heck you have to loose

    Might as well go for it

    Please understand that people are used to using the system specs link to help solve problems. As you're seeing now, this thread is filling up rather quickly, so going back pages to find system specs can be a bit challenging. And let's not forget there was massive confusion with your initial specs concerning your motherboard. Remember, we all thought you had a 760G?

    No one is bashing you, it's just that that's where the system specs needs to be and are looked for when people are trying to figure out what's wrong with a machine they can't see.

    Peace
